AIO SLEEVE

  • http://komodotec.com/
  • The AIO Sleeve is the world first "activity tracking compression sleeve" basically working like a normal fitness tracker that can monitor your heartbeat, blood pressure, and most other things that these fitness trackers do, the difference with this one being eliminating the air in between the sensor and your skin, giving an incredibly accurate reading. This could be used for students in gym classes with health problems to monitor heart rate and breathing etc to provide teachers with more information and avoid children from having health issues.

  • In an effort to expand wearable tech to the child market, while also promoting healthy daily activity, Adidas is pushing to get their new child fitness tracker watches onto the wrists of every child in PE. Teachers can tell different student profiles from each other by syncing them to an application on the teachers laptop. This could be a strong gateway to tackle other solutions that wearable tech could solve for educational situations.

  • The Lumo Run is a clip sensor that is attached to your waist belt that is meant to be paired to the Lumo Capris or the Lumo Shorts. Basically when paired they share information about the run you just had, focusing on your stride, steps taken, distance ran etc. This could be worn by students in 6-8 or 9-12 in order to make sure students arent in areas they are not supposed to be or near other students that they are not supposed to be around.
