bitHeads is a 23-year old software-development company based in Ottawa. One key product focus is their**backend-as-a-service solution, entitled "Braincloud", which provides scalability and customizability for cloud**computing applications. Currently, Braincloud is doing well in games markets supporting tens of millions of**active users.**The goal of this application is to evaluate the feasibility of extending Braincloud into the sports**instrumentation market. The vision is for data from athlete-worn sensors to be managed through bitHeads'**cloud-computing infrastructure to provide clear value to athletes, coaches and to sports fans. While several**companies provide body-worn instrumentation for sports, this cloud-computing approach is unique.**In this grant, ice skate-mounted accelerometer and gyroscope sensors will be designed which will send**wireless data through an local hub through the Braincloud system. An intial prototype of the sensor has been**demonstrated to the Carleton University women's hockey team and coaches and they are interested in**collaborating.**The PIs team has an extensive resesarch record developing the hardware and data analysis for biomedical**monitoring devices. If successful, this research will point the way forward for an exciting new market for**bitHeads' products.

BitHeads是一家有23年历史的软件开发公司，总部设在渥太华。一个关键的产品重点是他们的**后端即服务解决方案，名为“BrainCloud”，该解决方案为云**计算应用提供可扩展性和可定制性。目前，BrainCloud在游戏市场表现良好，支持着数千万**活跃用户。**该应用程序的目标是评估将BrainCloud扩展到体育**仪器市场的可行性。其愿景是通过BitHead的**云计算基础设施管理来自运动员佩戴的传感器的数据，为运动员、教练和体育迷提供明确的价值。虽然有几家**公司为体育运动提供穿戴在身上的仪器，但这种云计算方法是独一无二的。**在这笔赠款中，将设计安装在溜冰鞋上的加速计和陀螺仪传感器，这些传感器将通过BrainCloud系统通过本地集线器发送**无线数据。该传感器的初步原型已经**向卡尔顿大学女子曲棍球队和教练展示，他们对**合作感兴趣。**PIS团队拥有广泛的研究记录，为生物医学**监测设备开发硬件和数据分析。如果成功，这项研究将为比特头产品开辟一个令人兴奋的新市场指明方向。
