UConn students develop device to help keep Navy sailors from getting injured

Say you're a ship captain and you want to know when one of your sailors is fatigued to the point he or she is at risk of getting injured.

The team of Devon Thompson, Julia Podsen, Yannis Halkiadakis, Prateek Rana and Kyle-Gabriel de Vera Tan, has developed a device, worn around the ankle, that detects normal and abnormal walking patterns. The goal is to develop an algorithm that can predict from someone’s walking patterns if they’re going to get injured and what the injury will be.
