Leveraging AI in Sports with Explainable E-Coaching
Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology are conducting a study to investigate the use of smart devices (i.e. mobile applications, wearables, etc.) in improving performance and injury prevention in sports by developing an explainable e-coaching dashboard system which enhances AI explainability, trust, and quality of communication between athletes and coaches. Participants will be asked to share their physical and physiological data and respond to daily surveys. Participation will contribute to the development of a real-time XAI e-coaching system that leverages passive sensing and real-world data to improve performance in sports.
Eligibility
College student athletes.
Benefits and Compensation
Participating in this study may contribute to the development of an e-coaching system that enhances athlete-coach communication, trust, and empathy in which athletes and coaches will potentially utilize to improve their sport performance and injury prevention techniques.
Participants will be compensated depending on their participation and compliance.
Participants will be compensated $15 for a baseline survey.
Participants will be compensated to wear the Fitbit smartwatch and consistently respond to daily surveys (1-2 mins per day).
Weekly Compensation:
15+ survey completions per week & wearing the Fitbit = $30
10+ survey completions per week & wearing the Fitbit = $25
7+ survey completions per week & wearing the Fitbit = $20
5+ survey completions per week & wearing the Fitbit =$15
Participants will be compensated $15 for a study completion survey.
Chance to earn $150 in 4 weeks.
Expectations and Requirements
The study will take place over approximately four to six weeks. Participants will be allowed to drop out of the study at any point.
There will be an on-boarding interview to detect athlete baseline status.
