Athletic Equipment Including a Health and/or Impact Sensor
[Category : - AMUSEMENT SPORTS- HEALTH- Football]
[Viewed 5430 times]
This patent provides methods to acquire, measure, store, and wirelessly transmit physiological and impact data from sensors built into athletic equipment.
The primary target market includes youth, amateur, and professional sports organizations and is ideal for football, boxing, MMA, hockey, and soccer.
It improves upon current athletic equipment in that it provides for:
1) Embedded sensors to measure both the athlete’s vital signs and force statistics during training and competition
2) Visual display and audible output of health and impact data
3) Bluetooth® technology to allow spectators and at home viewers to see and track the condition of the athlete and the force of any individual impact, thus enhancing the live broadcast and fan experience
There are no current products that simultaneously monitor an athlete’s vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation) with performance such as the impact of a tackle, the power of a punch and kick, or a blow to the head. Not yet on the market, there are some products that claim to track the force of a punch; however their use is intended for training purposes only. The Athletic Equipment Including a Health/Impact Sensor™ improves upon these ideas by providing training data and in-game data. The NFL teamed up with Zebra Technologies during the 2015 season as “The Official On-Field Player Tracking Provider,” intending to enhance the fan experience through its location tracking technology. This patent is innovative in that it will further enhance the broadcast experience by providing health and impact data for the fans. Football games will be even more exciting as the fans see the force of a field goal kick, the impact of a tackle or “hit,” or the effectiveness of a block.
