1. A wearable device, comprising:
a transmitter;
a sensor configured to measure biometric data associated with an individual wearing the wearable device;
an accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of a body part of the individual to which the wearable device is attached;
a power source for providing power to the wearable device;
a microcontroller including a memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from the sensor, a first signal including the biometric data measured by the sensor, wherein the biometric data is measured during participation of an activity by the individual;
receiving, from the accelerometer, a second signal including acceleration data corresponding to the acceleration of the body part of the individual, wherein the acceleration data is obtained during participation in the activity by the individual;
transmitting, by utilizing the transmitter, the first and second signals to a computing device for analysis, wherein the analysis of the computing device indicates a performance metric of the individual, wherein the first signal, the second signal, the performance metric, the analysis, or a combination thereof, are utilized to identify a manner in which a motion of the body part is to be adjusted to reduce or avoid fatigue or an injury risk or improve performance of the activity;
receiving a notification indicating the manner in which the motion of the body part is to be adjusted;
processing, at the wearable device, data associated with the motion of the body part after the individual performs the motion of the body part to determine additional motions for the individual to perform over time to further reduce or avoid the fatigue or the injury risk, or improve the performance of the activity; and
a stretchable patch matrix material, wherein the transmitter, the sensor, the accelerometer, the power source, and the microcontroller are housed within a housing tray within the stretchable patch matrix material, wherein the housing tray is covered by the stretchable patch matrix material, wherein the wearable device is stretchable, flexible, or a combination thereof.
