Abstract: A wearable device utilizing flexible electronics is disclosed. The wearable device may comprise a flexible matrix material and may include sensors for measuring biometric measurements of an individual, an accelerometer for measuring an acceleration of a body part to which the wearable device is attached, a wireless transmitter, a flexible power source, and a microcontroller. During an activity, the microcontroller may receive signals from the sensors including the biometric measurements, and signals from the accelerometer including acceleration and force measurements associated with the individual. The microcontroller may convert the signals into digital signals and transmit the signals to a computing device for analysis. The computing device may analyze the digital signals to determine a performance metric for the individual. The performance metric may be compared to baseline data for the individual to determine a fatigue level, injury risk, or an adjustment to be made by the individual during the activity.
