The Tech Guy Building Wearables for America’s Olympians
The U.S. Olympic Committee’s biomedical engineer, Mounir Zok, is more focused on the IoT (internet of things) than the IOC (International Olympic Committee).Mounir Zok, the biomedical engineer in charge of the U.S. Olympic Committee’s tech and innovation, brainstorms products and training aids from his home in Cupertino, Calif. Together with his team of engineers and specialists, he’s produced, among other training gear, a set of connected glasses for the U.S. women’s cycling pursuit team that projects performance data directly onto lenses. “Just like a butterfly can never be a caterpillar again,” Zok says, “once an athlete starts using technology to peak when she wants to peak, limit injuries, and maximize performance, she can never go back to just intuitive training.” The team used them to prepare for the 2016 Summer Games and won a silver medal.This level of wearable tech is likely years away from being available to consumers.
