Wearable Tech: A Game Changer for Athletes’ Performance

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share an article I recently wrote for Lehigh’s Alumni Bulletin magazine about a study of wearable technology being conducted by Dhruv Seshadri, assistant professor of bioengineering. Dhruv is studying existing wearable technology and hoping to eventually create a new and improved device that will provide data in an actionable format for the user.
I thought this was a unique story because it involves most of Lehigh’s sports teams, including the football team and women’s and men’s soccer teams, swim teams and basketball teams. Dhruv is also a relatively new faculty member here who started in the past year and opened a new lab on campus.
In addition to his research, the story was a way to highlight a new faculty member, his lab and students’ experience being involved in hands-on research here at Lehigh.
I hope you enjoy reading the article as much as I enjoyed working on it!
