[ MOBIL ]


MBL / 4001
Versions 1 (left) and 2 (right) of the knee sensor. The second version is completely wireless and able to track the pose of the knee at 100Hz.

MOBIL (Monitoring Of Biomechanics In Locomotion) started as an weekend project to build a system capable of measuring joint pose for in-the-wild monitoring of joint health and performance in athletes. Using a pair of IMUs, the sensor is able to calculate the true orientation of the knee a hundred times a second, streaming this information wirelessly over MQTT for more advanced processing in the cloud. 

While I am currently focusing on metrics like explosiveness in sports, I would like to extend the work to help those with chronic pain identify their triggers and improve their condition.
