Inspiration

We decided to approach the prompt from a data collection standpoint. The dataset provided is recorded after the injury has occurred. With our approach, coaches/athletic trainers on the sidelines are able to monitor player impacts as they happen.

What it does

Utilizes accelerometer data to monitor body impacts and provide insight into the future.

How we built it

We used the Myo armband as a prototype sensor. This sensor's data is recorded into a csv file. This csv file is then used with a live 3D graph to monitor the movement of the sensor. This data is also relayed to a website that pull the user name, injury location (based on sensor location), and impact force.

Challenges we ran into

Live updating 3D graphs was a challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to visualize the sensor's data into 3D space.

What we learned

We learned how to approach a problem and think outside the box.

What's next for Live Impact Monitor

Changing the logging program so that the csv file is consistently named in order to increase the ease of use.
