Team 06: Portable Knee Force Sensor
Above: The JOEY is a Bluetooth Capable, Portable Force Measurement System that attaches to various pieces of workout equipment. This product gives the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks the capability to track various strength metrics while traveling.
Professional athletes commonly experience patellar tendinitis, a knee injury causing significant pain. To prevent injury, daily tracking of strength metrics is crucial. Current solutions used by the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks are not portable thus creating gaps in data. To solve this, the team developed the “JOEY”, a Bluetooth-capable, portable solution for continuous strength monitoring.
