New Patent Submissions: Advancing Sports & Rehab Technology
Our lab has recently completed two major patent submissions: the "Impact-Resistant Protective Pad" and the "Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Patch." These innovations represent a strategic bridge between elite athletic training and precision clinical rehabilitation.
Impact-Resistant Protective Pad
A multi-purpose protective solution designed for high-impact sports and medical safety applications.
Key Features
- Shock Absorption: Advanced materials to dissipate high-velocity impact energy.
- Noise Reduction: Integrated acoustic damping for gym and clinical environments.
- Lightweight Design: Optimized for portability without compromising protection.
Applications
Weightlifting protection, yoga mats, orthopedic insoles, gait training, and muscle rehabilitation.
IMU Wearable Patch
A thin, skin-adhesive sensor platform integrating high-precision inertial chips for movement tracking.
Key Features
- High Fidelity: Integrated accelerometer and gyroscope for sub-millimeter tracking.
- Wireless Sync: Real-time data transmission to mobile and desktop analysis platforms.
- Skin-Friendly: Ergonomic adhesive design for long-duration athlete monitoring.
Applications
Elite sports performance analysis, training load monitoring, and clinical muscle activity tracking.
The Multi-Faceted Value of Innovation
These patents demonstrate our lab's unique positioning within the Taiwan Institute of Sports Science (TISS). By combining Dr. Chen's expertise in medical radiology and sports biomechanics, we are developing solutions that serve both the pinnacle of athletic achievement and the necessity of clinical recovery.
A Vision for Integrated Science
"Our goal is to ensure that the data we collect in the lab leads to tangible products that protect athletes and empower patients. These patent submissions are the first steps in bringing our research out of the institution and into the hands of practitioners."
Future Roadmap
Moving forward, the lab will focus on field-testing these prototypes with national-level athletes and partner medical institutions. We are actively seeking collaborations for pilot studies and further product development to bring these Taiwanese innovations to the global stage.
