Magic Conch is a data-driven application and wearable device that uses machine learning and LoRa technology to help beachgoers safely enjoy coastal activities by providing forecasts of hazardous conditions like storms and red tides before trips, as well as notifications of unpredictable dangers like tsunamis and medical emergencies during trips. The creators at Magic Conch aim to harness open data and its benefits to increase awareness of beach safety through features that predict suitable options and help avoid danger.

2. We are Magic Conch from Taiwan.
Growing up in ocean-surrounded island passion,
with passion in costal activity

3. Nevertheless, we live without the absence
of natural disasters, of which insufficient
awareness is a key issue.

4. Every hour of every day,
more than 40 lives are
threatened by ocean.
Were the catastrophes inevitable?
Could have the odds been in the favor of victims?
WHO: Global report on drowning: preventing a leading killer

5. We believe that our answer lies somewhere within vast, scattered,
and enormous data. However, to extract the useful insight would be
infeasible for each individual. Hence, we aim to bridge the gap of
information with our service.
A gap of information holds
back decent decisions

6. Modern solutions predict
suitable options from
data, we try to bring the
service to the next level
by implementing features
that help avoid danger
The combination of “predict“ and “avoid” is
our approach to secure a trip to the beach.

7. Introducing Magic Conch
Data driven application and wearable device, with machine-learning
based forecast, as well as reliable communication technology (LoRa),
helps beach-goers to enjoy their journey without risk.

8. Before going to the beach…
Avoid hazardous such beach conditions as incoming storms, red tides and
UV exposure, while looking into preferable alternatives within few clicks

9. After Arrival...
learn about and react to unpredictable and eminent dangers such as

10. Magic Conch is not just another trip advisor,
or some other wearable device
The vast capability and
potential of LoRa
technology
Rich and resourceful

11. Most People do not have the ability to harness the
power of open data. We gather data from a wide
variety of sources, in hope to propagate the
benefits of well-informed coastal activities.

12. Magic Conch is the quintessence of our ideology,
and in the future, over the seven seas, we hope
it marks a horizon upon which the awareness of
beach safety finally rise.
