Abstract

In sports science, ensuring maximum athlete safety and optimizing data utilization are pivotal yet leave room for further work. My project, Unbeaten SafeWare, addresses these critical issues by focusing on two primary concerns: preventing heat-related and cardiac illnesses, which are significant causes of athlete fatalities, and enhancing the transparency and utility of sports data. This initiative involves developing a shirt integrated with sensors to monitor vital signs and an athlete management system to handle data input, storage, analysis, and accessibility for athletes.

The project has advanced through the efforts of a multidisciplinary team, which includes biomedical engineering undergraduates, two faculty advisors, and a textile master's student. Together, we have made significant progress in integrating sensors into wearable technology, with future plans to expand sensor capabilities and develop a comprehensive application for live monitoring by coaches. Concurrently, we are constructing a robust database system designed to prevent data obsolescence and support detailed, long-term analytical capabilities and athlete access.

Funded initially by a $1,000 grant and supported by Amazon Web Services tools for developing the database infrastructure, these resources have laid a solid foundation for additional funding and research endeavors. Throughout this project, I have gained extensive experience in team leadership, business creation, product engineering, intellectual property rights, and more. This venture propels my entrepreneurial career forward and contributes significantly to the fields of athlete safety and performance optimization.
