Sports Sensors Vary Wildly in Their Measurements. Standards Are Closing the Gap

Did you know that two different wearable sensors can give an athlete two completely different scores for the same workout?

Those differences, which can be subtle and not-so subtle, make it hard for elite athletes, coaches and even sports leagues to cut through the noise and identify the tools that are best for them.

That’s exactly the challenge IEEE Member Rachel Hybart wants to address through a standard in development through the IEEE Standards Association.

IEEE Standard P3716, a Standard for the Quality Assessment of Human and Object Tracking Technologies Used in Field- or Court-based Sports, is intended to provide an objective performance evaluation of electronic systems that measure things like the speed, position and velocity of humans and objects in sports that are played in fields and courts.

She recently appeared on the IEEE SA Re-Think Health podcast. As the world’s attention begins to focus on elite winter sports, we touched base with her to discuss how this new standard might help elite athletes, coaches and leagues make more informed decisions.

“Without a way of assessing the quality of a specific measurement device or method, it’s really easy for teams and leagues to invest in technology that maybe doesn’t best suit their needs,” Hybart told the podcast.

Why Accuracy Matters

From wearables on wrists to GPS vests to special cameras using LiDAR, sensors are everywhere and data is embedded at the highest levels of decision-making.

“At the elite level, small errors in timing orientation or force estimation can meaningfully change conclusions about fatigue, asymmetry or injury risk,” Hybart said.

And it isn’t just training load. Data from sensors can be used to determine whether an injured player should return to play and to help broadcasters provide context for viewers at home. Sports leagues use data to evaluate rules designed to improve player safety.

How Different Sensors Take Different Measurements

To understand how differences in sensors and electronic devices can impact athlete data, consider the use of satellite-based navigation systems, like GPS, which are often combined with motion sensors worn on the body. While these satellite systems follow common standards, the devices that use them can process the data in different ways. During fast changes in speed or direction, differences in how frequently data is collected, how motion sensors are combined and how the data is smoothed can lead to noticeable differences in reported position and speed between systems.

Furthermore, the way wearables and other sensors measure athletic performance is frequently locked behind proprietary systems and algorithms that are hard to evaluate.

Are Consumer-Grade Sensors Good Enough?

Of course, the use of sensors and wearables isn’t just driven by elite athletes. Hobbyists and student athletes use them as well.

“Consumer devices are optimized for consistency and engagement at the individual level,” Hybart said. “Systems used by elite athletes must be precise enough to inform medical, performance and safety decisions.”

Systems used at elite international events are also designed to integrate multiple data streams such as motion tracking, force measurement, broadcast video and event context rather than relying on a single wearable signal.

Love Is in the Air and So Are Scammers: Check Point Warns of Valentine’s Day 2026 Cyber Threats

New Delhi, Feb 12: As Valentine’s Day approaches, Check Point Software Technologies, a global leader in cybersecurity, has issued a warning about a sharp rise in Valentine-themed cyber threats. Researchers have identified an increase in phishing websites, fake e-commerce stores, and look-alike dating platforms aimed at stealing personal and financial information from unsuspecting consumers.

Surge in Valentine-Themed Domains

Check Point researchers observed that from March to December 2025, an average of 474 new Valentine-related domains were registered per month. In January 2026, registrations jumped to 696 — a 44% increase. In just the first five days of February, 152 additional domains were detected, a 36% increase compared to the daily average in January. Nearly all (97.5%) remain unclassified, meaning they could be quickly activated for malicious purposes.

These domains often exploit common search terms like “Valentine’s Day gifts” or “cheap Valentine deals,” making them appear trustworthy to shoppers. Some domains remain dormant until days before February 14 to maximize their impact.

Fake Stores and Look-Alike Dating Sites

Cybercriminals are also leveraging fake e-commerce sites and look-alike dating platforms. For instance, sites like funkovalentine[.]club and tinnder[.]cfd mimic trusted brands and platforms such as Funko and Tinder, luring users to enter credentials or make purchases, ultimately compromising personal data.

Why Valentine’s Day Is a Prime Target

The emotional nature of the holiday — urgency, excitement, and anticipation — makes consumers more likely to click quickly and fall for scams. The combination of a spike in online shopping, increased dating activity, and brand impersonation creates an ideal environment for cybercriminals to exploit.

How to Stay Safe

Check Point advises users to take the following precautions:

• Shop only with trusted retailers and avoid unfamiliar Valentine-themed stores.
• Double-check URLs for misspellings or subtle differences.
• Avoid odd payment requests such as crypto, gift cards, or wire transfers.
• Download dating apps exclusively from official app stores.
• Ignore unsolicited Valentine’s deals via email, SMS, or social media.
• Enable multi-factor authentication to protect accounts even if credentials are compromised.

“Valentine’s Day should be about connection and celebration, not falling victim to cybercrime,” said Audrey Pereira-Loong of Check Point. “We urge consumers to stay vigilant, verify websites, and practice safe online behavior this season.”

Closing The Gap Between Silicon and Society: Inside IIIT Hyderabad’s Lab That Is Working Across The Full Electronics Stack

Feb 12: At a time when India is strengthening its semiconductor ambitions, IIIT Hyderabad’s researchers are developing indigenous electronics – from custom chip design and millimetre-wave circuits to privacy-preserving sensing and intelligent healthcare systems – that move seamlessly from the lab to real-world deployment.

In an age where governance, healthcare and mobility increasingly rely on data, how that data is sensed, processed and protected matters deeply. Visual dashboards, spatial maps and intelligent systems have become essential tools for decision-making, but behind every such system lies something less visible and far more fundamental: electronics.

Silicon-To-System Philosophy

At IIIT Hyderabad, the Integrated Circuits – Inspired by Wireless and Biomedical Systems, IC-WiBES research group led by Prof. Abhishek Srivastava, is rethinking how electronic systems are designed; not as isolated chips, but as end-to-end technologies that move seamlessly from silicon to real-world deployment. The group follows a simple but powerful philosophy: vertical integration from chip design to system-level applications.

Rather than treating integrated circuits, signal processing and applications as separate silos, the group works across all three layers simultaneously. This “dual-track” approach allows researchers to design custom chips while also building complete systems around them, ensuring that electronics are shaped by real-world needs rather than abstract specifications.

Why Custom Chips Still Matter

In many modern systems, off-the-shelf electronics are sufficient. But for strategic applications such as healthcare monitoring, privacy-preserving sensing, space missions, or national infrastructure, generic hardware often becomes a bottleneck. The IIIT-H team focuses on designing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that offer greater flexibility, precision and energy efficiency than commercial alternatives. These chips are not built in isolation; they evolve continuously based on feedback from real deployments, ensuring that circuit-level decisions directly improve system performance.

Millimetre Wave Electronics

One of the lab’s most impactful research areas is millimetre-wave (mmWave) radar sensing, a technology increasingly used in automotive safety but still underexplored for civic and healthcare applications. Unlike cameras, mmWave radar can operate in low light, fog, rain and dust – all while preserving privacy. By transmitting and receiving high-frequency signals, these systems can detect motion, distance and even minute vibrations, such as the movement of a human chest during breathing.

Contactless Healthcare Monitoring

This capability has opened up new possibilities in non-contact health monitoring. The team has developed systems that can measure heart rate and respiration without wearables or cameras which is particularly useful in infectious disease wards, elderly care, and post-operative monitoring. These systems combine custom electronics, signal processing and edge AI to extract vital signs from extremely subtle radar reflections. Clinical trials are already underway, with deployments planned in hospital settings to evaluate real-world performance.

Privacy-First Sensing For Roads

The same radar technology is being applied to road safety and urban monitoring. In poor visibility conditions, such as heavy rain or fog, traditional camera-based systems struggle. Radar-based sensing, however, continues to function reliably. The researchers have demonstrated systems that can detect and classify vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists with high accuracy and low latency, even in challenging environments. Such systems could inform traffic planning, accident analysis and smart city governance, without raising surveillance concerns.

Systems Shaping Chips

A defining feature of the lab’s work is the feedback loop between systems and circuits. When limitations emerge during field testing such as signal interference or noise, the insights directly inform the next generation of chip designs. This has led to innovations such as programmable frequency-modulated radar generators, low-noise oscillators and high-linearity receiver circuits, all tailored to the demands of real applications rather than textbook benchmarks. 

Building Rare Electronics Infrastructure

Supporting this research is a rare, high-frequency electronics setup at IIIT Hyderabad, capable of measurements up to 44 GHz – facilities available at only a handful of institutions nationwide. The lab has also led landmark milestones, including the institute’s first fully in-house chip tape-out and participation in international semiconductor design programs that provide broad access to advanced electronic design automation tools.

Training Full Stack Engineers

Beyond research outputs, the group is shaping a new generation of engineers fluent across the entire electronics stack- from transistor-level design to algorithms and applications. “Our students learn how circuit-level constraints shape system intelligence – a rare but increasingly critical skill,” remarks Prof. Srivastava. This cross-disciplinary training equips students for roles in national missions, deep-tech startups, academia and advanced semiconductor industries, where understanding how hardware constraints affect system intelligence is increasingly critical.

Academic Research to National Relevance

With sustained funding from multiple agencies, dozens of top-tier publications, patents in progress and early-stage technology transfers underway, the lab’s work reflects a broader shift in Indian research – one that is towards application-driven electronics innovation.

Emphasising that progress in deep-tech research isn’t linear, Prof. Srivastava remarks that at IC-WIBES, circuits, systems, and algorithms mature together.

“Sometimes hardware leads. Sometimes applications expose flaws. The key is patience, persistence, and constant feedback. The lab isn’t trying to replace every component with custom silicon. Instead, we are focused on strategic intervention – designing custom chips where they matter most.”
