Simultaneously monitoring the referee's physical condition and the pitch environment. An innovative band-aid type sensor that ensures safety in harsh match conditions.
In recent years, holding matches in extreme heat or bad weather conditions has placed an extremely harsh burden on referees in sports competitions. The compact and lightweight biometric sensor 'Vitalgram' is a groundbreaking device that allows referees to measure their own vital signs and environmental data on the pitch simultaneously by simply attaching it to their chest. In addition to monitoring heart rate and activity levels using ECG and 3-axis acceleration, it quantifies the harsh thermal environment at ground level by measuring temperature and humidity inside clothing. Unlike the estimated values from smartwatches, it can transmit direct, high-precision data to the main office in real-time, enabling the introduction of cooling breaks when the risk of heatstroke increases and allowing for scientifically grounded decisions regarding referee substitutions. 【Features】 ■ Ultra-thin, band-aid type sensor that does not hinder intense movement ■ Accurate assessment of referee fatigue based on ECG waveform and activity levels ■ Quantification of the harsh environment on the pitch using clothing temperature and humidity ■ Support for appropriate break decisions through real-time communication *For detailed use cases and specifications, please refer to "Download the Catalog."
