Rice University senior Senthil Natarajan blew out his arm when he was 14, dashing his hopes of pitching for his high school baseball team in New Orleans. Now he and fellow electrical engineering student Alex Dzeda are developing a high-tech sleeve that might save other young pitchers from the same fate. The sleeve, which is the first product of their startup company, Ziel Solutions, uses a combination of advanced technologies.
“It has sensors that can track and monitor your muscle activity and your motion through accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, and electromyography,” Natarajan said in an interview with SportTechie.
