More About Smart Football Vest Vest With Sensor

Smart Football Vest is a sensor vest designed to protect the health of football players during training and matches. The vest is worn under the football shirt and is made of a very thin, soft fabric. A sensor and conductive rubber electrodes on the back collect heart rate, breathing rate and calorie use in real time. The collected data forms an analysis report, and a linked mobile application sends a voice alert to coaching and medical staff when the readings show risk. A small stabilized camera on the chest records video from the first-person view.
