Colombia has a major landmine problem
Colombia is at constant war due to anti-government rebellions and, as a result, a lot of the area is infested with landmines. According to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), Colombia is the second-most mined country in the world after Afghanistan.
Groundbreaking technology introduces life-saving solution
Lemur Studio, a Bogota, Colombia-based design firm, has designed a life-saving solution called SaveOneLife. The SaveOneLife boot inserts can detect landmines from a distance of 6.5 feet. The design has already received numerous awards.
How does it work?
SaveOneLife is equipped with tiny microprocessors that pick up electromagnetic signals produced by a large metal object like a landmine. Embedded radio transmitters then send a message to a wristband interface.
The wristband interface alerts wearers if they come within a 6.5 foot radius of a landmine by displaying the exact location of the mine on a small screen, ruling out the need for any guesswork.
Lemur Studio is currently trying to gain much-needed funding for the project by pitching its concept to the military. If successful, this product could soon be saving innocent peoples’ lives every day.
