Project Overview:
Our team developed a cutting-edge wearable belt equipped with sensors designed specifically for sports competitions. The belt is worn by participants during pushup events and utilizes advanced sensor technology to detect and count accurate pushups based on predefined criteria and posture. The system integrates with a main backend system developed using Python, enabling real-time data analytics, winner announcements, and predictive analytics for future events.
01
Client & Challenge
The project aimed to revolutionize the way pushup competitions are conducted by providing an accurate and automated method of counting pushups. The challenge was to design a wearable device that could detect and differentiate between correct and incorrect pushups based on specific criteria and generate real-time analytics for participants and event organizers.
02
Solution
To address this challenge, our team developed a wearable belt with integrated sensors capable of accurately detecting and counting pushups. The belt utilizes sensor data to analyze the participant’s posture and movement, identifying and recording correct pushups in real-time. The collected data is transmitted to the main Python-based system, enabling advanced data analytics, winner determination, and further predictive analysis.
