Profile

I am the owner of my own company called Assila LLC. I invented and patented my product, Hot Seat. Hot Seat is an alarm system that prevents children from being accidentally left in a hot car. On average, 40 children every year die from being accidentally left in a hot car. Hot Seat started as a project for my school's science fair. My mom owns a home childcare business, so children have always been a big part of my life. I heard so many stories about children dying from being accidentally left in a hot car and I knew there had to be a solution.
Hot Seat is simple to use and can be used in any car seat. It has a sensor pad that can be placed in any infant, toddler, or booster seat. It then connects via Bluetooth to the parent's iPhone. If a child is in the seat and the cell phone is at least 15 feet away from the vehicle, an alarm on the app will sound, notifying the caregiver that a child is still in the seat. I am currently beginning the manufacturing of my product and hope to have it on the market within the next month!
