Wearable system for swimmer

Summary

Wearable system for monitoring a swimmer's performance

Technology Benefits

Solution that integrates both the monitoring of the performance of both the heart rate in a single device.
Ability to send the collected data in real-time outside of the pool.

Technology Application

sport monitoring

Detailed Technology Description

The project consists of a wearable system for swimmers.
It is a sensorized system able to detect the heart rate and the athlete's performance data in real time.
Two electrodes are placed on the costume for receive the heart rate from which it is possible to identify the swimmer’s metabolic range.
The system heart is a small element that is connected to the costume. This part contains:
• An accelerometer that can detect the movements of the swimmer on three axes x, y, z;
• A processor that processes the data coming from the electrodes and accelerometer;
• Three rechargeable batteries;
• A transmitter that allows you to send the collected data outside of the pool.

It is a system formed by two main components:
• A sensorized costume;
• The system brain.
The first is a real system on which are sewn in the fabric of the electrodes can detect the heart rate of the swimmer. The measured parameters are sent via cable to the brain, which processes the data.
The brain is equipped with an accelerometer that allows to understand the movement of the swimmer identifying many parameters of the swim. All data are then sent to an external platform through a simple graphical interface that allows you to read all the parameters measured.
