Smart Equipment

Sensing embedded into the gear and the body surface rather than the wrist: instrumented balls that capture spin and impact, patch sensors that read metabolic signals, and textile sensing woven into apparel. These form factors reach signals a wrist device cannot, at the cost of durability and calibration challenges unique to objects that are struck, worn, and stretched.

Smart Equipment technologies

Spin and impact from inside.

Instrumented Ball

A ball with sensors embedded inside it, measuring spin, impact, and trajectory at the source rather than inferring them from the body. The form factor unlocks metrics a wrist device cannot reach, but the electronics must survive repeated strikes without changing how the ball feels, and calibration is hard inside a spinning, impacting object.

Embedded in equipment

Metabolic signal, worn all day.

Continuous Glucose Monitor

A skin patch sensor that reads a metabolic signal once confined to a lab, sampled continuously through the day. It pushes wearable sensing past movement into physiology, opening a view of how the body fuels effort and recovers. Continuous physiological monitoring also accumulates an intimate record, which makes data stewardship central rather than incidental.

Skin patch sensor

Sensing woven into clothing.

Smart Apparel

Textile sensing woven into garments to capture respiration, posture, and muscle activity from the torso, where they are easier to read than at the wrist. Moving sensing into clothing makes it unobtrusive, but introduces challenges of washability, consistent skin contact, and calibration as the fabric stretches and shifts during movement.
