Top 5 smart health connected objects that are revolutionizing rugby

[ad_1]

smart health connected objects continue their breakthrough in the world of sport. Anyone can use Bluetooth bracelets or watches to track their progress and even set goals. But, what about professionals? We already know that major football clubs use these products to optimize player training. Football, we hear about it every day. Let's diversify a bit and look at what smart health connected objects bring to the sweet world of rugby. The editorial team presents its top.

My Biody Balance and Biody Xpert

For over a year and a half, the Toulon Rugby Club uses MyBiody Balance and Biody Xpert technologies

My Biody Balance is a small object that looks like a stapler that the editorial team has already tested for you. It is placed at the ankle and sends beams to decompose the weight of its user and offer him a complete body assessment. With the mobile application, the user can access the results and analyzes. It can reveal muscle deficiencies, excess body fat and even dehydration.

My Biody Balance is multi-frequency. He sends low intensity, painless beams in your whole body. Several currents of different powers guarantee the accuracy of the measurement. Thanks to this, the device gives reliable measurements not only concerning the top or bottom of your body. My Biody Balance is available around 200 €.

My Biody Xpert is like the cousin of Biody Balance. It has almost the same design and informs the same type of data. On the other hand, he takes burst measurements to get the body composition of the whole team. The data is also transmitted to the dedicated application and is logged.

Sensor EveryWhere, the GPS for rugby

Toulon rugby players are not the only ones to benefit from cutting edge technology. At the 6 Nations Tournament or even during the Rugby World Cup 2020 in England, hairy mastodons were already equipped with smart health connected objects. The tri-color XV, he used the Sensor EveryWhere developed by the French company Digital Simulation.

The device is simply a GPS sensor hidden in a pocket integrated into the fabric of the jersey, at the level of the shoulder blades. Sensor EveryWhere gives the location of the player in a 3-dimensional space. That's not all, it aims to analyze individual and collective performance in real time. Movements and shocks are collected, centralized and sent to the coach seated on the bench. With around 30 different factors, he can strategize according to the shape of the team.

Jolt, the clip that slides into the helmet

This is jolt, the smart health smart health connected object for gross bullies. It looks like a small plastic clip that clips everywhere like on a helmet or any other accessory. Unlike many others, it is not an activity tracker. It measures blows, shocks and all impacts suffered by the player's head. Jolt studies the pre-recorded data to try to anticipate the risk of injury and concussions.

In the event of a problem, the sensor detects the anomaly in real time and issues an alert on the application dedicated to Jolt. We must not forget the main stakeholder, the carrier. He is informed by a notification in the form of vibrations. This is essential since the greatest danger of a concussion is the absence of unconsciousness. So she goes unnoticed before symptoms appear.

FitGuard doesn't just protect your teeth

FitGuard (Force Impact Technologies Guard) is also a smart health smart health connected object more intended for the health of the player than for the analysis of his physical performance. The startup of the same name has created a mouth guard capable of detecting shocks that may cause damage to the head. FitGuard measures the force of the impact and, depending on the power, an LED of a certain color will light up. Green translates a minimal blow, blue for a medium and red to alert a sufficiently violent shock to cause a concussion.

FitGuard is, of course, smart health connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. A dedicated application retrieves the recorded data during the various collisions. This will allow us to know the risks involved and, we hope, to warn a doctor if necessary. For even more security, the wearer can program a critical threshold with the app. The editorial team has already mentioned the reasons for the creation of FitGuard.

Reebok Checklight, the hat for the rygby

With FitGuard you had LEDs at the level of the mouth, you can now get the full panoply with the Reebok Checklight. It’s a hat that also measures the force of the blows received by means of a color code. The LEDs range from yellow, signifying a moderate impact, to red for a risk of serious injury.

Reebok Checklight has an accelerometer and sensors that determine the power of the shock as a function of the acceleration of the movement of the wearer's head. The whole is smart health connected to a microprocessor located in a tongue which goes down to the nape of the neck. The device also analyzes the risk of "whiplash", since the effect of the counter-strike tends to twist the nape of the neck.

The device provides information on the player’s location and the number of hits received. It is recharged with a micro-USB port.

The market for smart health connected objects for sport should not reach less than $ 18 billion in 2018. All you have to do is go to a stadium which, hopefully, is smart health connected like the one in Toulouse.
