A device and a method for identifying a motion pattern of a person that allow suitable feedback about an identified motion pattern to be produced in real time, to address the disadvantage that there is no provision for direct feedback to the person in the event of abnormal behavior being detected. This is achieved by virtue of a device for identifying a motion pattern of a person having at least one sensor for capturing motion parameters and at least one evaluation unit, which is couplable to the at least one sensor, for evaluating the motion parameters and for producing a motion pattern.

A system for analysis of user gait and to provide correction in form of haptic and visual feedback. This system comprises a motion and force sensors and a haptic actuator embedded in the user shoe insoles in communication with a smart-phone based analysis application, configured to calculate motion and orientation of the user feet in relation to the value, location and distribution of ground reaction forces measured by sensors located in the shoe insoles and after analysis of said forces and motion, to provide haptic feedback to the user foot instructing about the location (and timing) of pressure the user must apply to achieve an optimal gait.

An intelligent shoe comprises one or more sensorial devices configured to generate sensorial signals to instruct a wearer to walk along a pedestrian path. The intelligent shoe is configured to cause a current location of the wearer to be determined and to obtain a pedestrian path between the current location and the destination location. The intelligent shoe then causes the one or more sensorial devices to generate sensorial signals, instructing the wearer to move along the pedestrian path.

The coil may have one or more turns that run around the ring-shaped strip of stretchable fabric.

A sports training aid comprising a body unit (110) attachable to a person's body or the person's sports implement wherein the body unit (110) is provided with a positioning sensor module; a feedback stimulator; and a processor. The sports training aid is configured to provide instantaneous feedback on motion faults of a studied sports motion, and the body unit (110) is intended to be attached to a person's body (or a person's sports implement) at a representative location, the location being bound to travel a path representative of the studied sports motion, and the positioning sensor module comprises acceleration sensors and gyro sensors, and the processor is configured to determine a still position corresponding to an event wherein the body unit (110) rs determined to be still, and the processor is configured to keep track of the sensor module's movements relative to the still position, and the processor is configured to activate the feedback stimulator in real time, upon detection of a sports motion fault of the studied sports motion of the person as represented by the motion path of the sensor module.

A system for sensing true positive impacts may include a sensing device configured for secured coupling to a user. The sensing device may include a sensor configured for sensing accelerations of an impact and for generating a signal based on the impact. The sensing device may also include a control sensor for sensing when the sensing device is in position for sensing. The sensing device may also include a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for receiving and capturing the signal from the sensor, and comparing first and second signals from the control sensor to determine if the signal is a true positive signal. The system may also include a processor for processing the instructions to capture the signal, perform the comparing, and identify the signal as a true positive signal. Method of sensing true positive impacts and of workload monitoring are also provided.

The device comprises at least one accelerometer, and a controller receiving input signals from the at least one accelerometer. The controller configured to filter stroke characteristics from the input signal using a filter module. The controller then applies a first statistical module on the filtered signal and obtains a first output signal. Due to the first statistical module, the first output signal is obtained, which is agnostic to type of swim stroke employed by the swimmer. The controller then determines the swim metric based on the first output signal and an adaptive threshold value. The swim metric is lap completion or lap count or turn event, during swimming by a swimmer. The device consumes less power and also agnostic to swim styles and turn styles employed by swimmers.
