IARNS - Improving Accuracy and Reducing Noise in Smart garments

由于潜在的受伤风险，职业体育是一个高风险行业，足球是受伤人数最多的三大运动之一。Catapult Sports估计，按固定工资计算，平均一次受伤的成本为20万GB，英超球队平均每赛季因伤损失4500万GB。因此，精英运动队显然需要依赖一种工具来监控运动员并收集他们的数据，以了解运动员的生理状况，并识别疲劳/受伤风险的早期迹象。KYMIRA已经为精英体育运动员开发了智能紧身裤，稍后将被改造用于医疗保健应用，嵌入检测运动和心率参数的传感器。A4I资金将使我们能够与NPL密切合作，解决我们在传感器方面遇到的一些问题，以便提供准确的测量。

Professional sports are a high-risk industry due to the potential of injury, with football being one of the top three sports with the highest amount of injuries. Catapult Sports have estimated that the average cost of an injury is ~£200,000 in fixed wages, with English Premier League teams losing an average of £45 million per season due to injuries. There is therefore a clear unmet need for elite sports teams to rely on a tool that allows them to monitor athletes and collect data on them, in order to understand players' physiology and identify early signs of fatigue/risk of injury.KYMIRA have developed smart leggings for elite sports athletes, which will later be adapted for a healthcare application, embedded with sensors that detect movement and heart rate parameters.A4I funding will allow us to work closely with NPL to resolve some issues we have experienced with our sensors, in order to provide an accurate measurement.
