Abstract

A wearable outfit comprising nano-sensors for continuous physiological condition and body temperature monitoring configured with load cells and strain gages for monitoring and measuring the degree of force impacted on an athlete during a hit or collision in a sporting event such as a football game, the strain gages are composed of electrical resistance elements embedded in a micro-fibered material and etched in a silicon substrate and located in a position that is in contact with the body of the wearer. The wearable outfit also enables wireless communication to computer device configured for algorithm and analysis of the detected conditions and for signaling personnel about the severity of an injury or collision through either auditory or visual device. The computer device is configured with algorithms for enabling accurate interpretation of the physiological condition or body surface temperatures of personnel.
