Analog Devices collaborates with Microsoft and
Hexoskin on new wearable technology.
IoT World Forum, Booth 206--Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI)
today announced its collaboration with Microsoft Corp. and Hexoskin
regarding a unique, wearable Internet of Things (IoT) solution for
athlete and team performance management. The IoT solution allows
coaches and team staff to monitor player information such as
motion, heart rate, and other useful health and performance metrics
from sensor-equipped vests worn by players. This information,
combined with player location and environmental data, is sent to a
secure cloud-based analytics platform providing critical insights
back to team staff via a dashboard. By informing better player
interventions and improving game-time tactical decisions, the IoT
solution helps provide significant competitive advantage to teams.
In addition, it is designed to enable better overall management of
player health, recovery, and injury avoidance, extending the
benefits far beyond an individual game. The new IoT solution,
including the vest and cloud platform, will be demonstrated in
Analog Devices’ Booth 206 at IoT World Forum in Santa Clara, May
10-12, 2016.

“Analog Devices is very excited to lead this initiative, as it
involves a unique set of measurement and analytical challenges that
we’re uniquely positioned to solve,” said Martin Cotter, vice
president, IoT, Healthcare and Consumer Business Units, Analog
Devices. “Some of the performance indicators we’re interested in
are not yet fully understood and can’t be measured directly. So,
we’re leveraging our precision sensing and algorithm capabilities,
as well as our deep expertise in biomedical applications to think
differently about the challenge and develop a unique solution.
We’re thrilled to be working on this challenge along with Microsoft
and Hexoskin, without whom a complete deployable solution would not
be possible.”
Complementing Analog Devices’ sensing and measurement expertise,
the solution utilizes Hexoskin’s innovative e-textile platform,
which has received strong praise and validation from the athletic
and medical communities. “Sports organizations are looking for
integrated data analytics solutions,” said Pierre-Alexandre
Fournier, CEO, Hexoskin. “At Hexoskin, we've always pushed for
compatibility and integration. This project with Analog Devices and
Microsoft is a good example of that openness philosophy.”
The Microsoft Azure IoT technology helps to solve analysis and
user-experience challenges with a cloud-based analytics engine as
well as the user dashboard application. “Helping our customers
quickly and easily innovate with IoT is core to our Microsoft Azure
IoT offerings,” said Jerry Lee, Microsoft Director of Product
Marketing, Azure IoT. “This wearable smart jersey demonstrates how
Azure IoT enables advanced analysis and real-time actionable
insights from individual athlete and team-level input.”
The IoT solution is currently being implemented and tested in
collaboration with one of Ireland’s most prominent hurling clubs.
“It’s an extremely tough and demanding team sport, with athletes at
the pinnacle of performance,” said Cotter. “We felt this was one of
the toughest environments in which to test the technology.”
While the initial prototypes were developed for athlete
management, the technology has implications across numerous
team-based settings (e.g. emergency services first-responders)
where performance, health and safety, and tactical decision-making
are critical to enable a successful outcome.
