Our Proposal
Sometimes individuals are having a hard time learning new exercises, practices or body movements on their own without supervision of a coach or a personal trainer. Sometimes classes are not available or not at the desired time. Niche sports or practices are almost impossible to find in suburban areas or on the country side. Furthermore are wrong executed movements often harmful for the body and it's articulations and muscles.
Personal trainer teach one to one so their services are exclusive and not scalable. Furthermore are the trainers only accessible in one place in the world at a time, depending on their expertise their rates are very high.
We want to give the personal trainers the chance to expand their services by recording their exercises through tracking sensors in wearable electronics, generating movement patterns and selling courses through our web service.
The individuals can download movement patterns and lessons and load them on their wearable devices which track their movements- compare them to the movement pattern and guide through a vibrating feedback into the right direction.
Using camera tracking devices would also offer tracking but the teacher as well as the student need a full tracking setup in a dedicated room, and are not free to practice were they want.
With our system the teacher and student are free to practice and record wherever they want without a special setup. Furthermore can we offer tactile feedback through vibration - we call it "the gentle push to perfection".
New movement patterns for various activities for example proper running technique, dance lessons, music lessons or even work related patterns can be submitted or downloaded through a web service from anywhere in the world at any time. This opens the possibilities even for niche sport like fly-fishing to learn the proper technique.
We sell unique training experiences which are accessible through our wearable electronics which utilize already existing sensors and feedback actuators, through our unique way of recording and the proprietary hardware we keep competitors out but are wide open for content providers which get our wearables for free or for rent. We sell our wearables through content providers (e.g. fitness studios, yoga studios...) or online retailers (e.g amazon) world wide. The exercises can be purchased through our online store. To get people interested we generate basic exercises (basketball free throw) which utilizes standard hardware (e.g. Withings smart watch) and it's sensors/vibrating feedback actuators. Through modular wearable devices we offer solutions for every skill level - from beginners to experts who want to perfect their form.
Technical side - help to get data from existing device and help to add the vibrating motors.
Support to utilize the wia Cloud platform in order to access the full IOT capabilities.
Content side
We need contacts to personal trainers which are opinion leaders in order to offer a first batch of lessons and patterns which can be tested on existing devices.
