Fitness trackers count steps. We detect injuries — the moment they happen. That is a new product category in a billion-dollar market.

MRI-based concussion study with an ice hockey team; movement patterns validated with leading scientists.
Initial talks held with German FA (DFB) leadership and the statutory insurer of professional athletes; demand confirmed in interviews with clubs and athletes.
Core building blocks run in three sister projects: computer vision sports analytics, smartphone 3D motion measurement, BLE/WiFi patient monitoring.
Smartwatches and trackers have educated the market: millions of athletes already wear sensors — but nobody uses them for injury detection.
Pose estimation and sensor fusion now run in real time on a standard smartphone — what needed server farms in 2016 costs nothing today.
Insurers and associations are shifting budgets from rehab to prevention — measurable injury avoidance has a direct business case.
Two wearables per athlete at a target price below $50 — deliberately low to open the market and build data reach.
Freemium app: basic tracking free, premium insights (best-practice comparison, rehab guidance, history) via subscription.
Licences for clubs, associations and insurers: team dashboards, medical reporting, squad availability management.
Our movement patterns come from medical research (MRI-validated concussion markers) — not from generic fitness data. This combination of clinical science and sensing is hard to replicate.
Every detected injury trains the knowledge database. Whoever scales first builds a data lead latecomers cannot buy.
Big players optimise for mass-market fitness. Injury detection requires medical depth, liability competence and trust — a specialist’s game.
Computer vision, on-device ML, BLE sensing and offline backends are implemented in our sister projects — we are not starting from zero.
From the Inteli sensor pilot to a manufacturable A-series: industrial design, certification, manufacturing partners.
Studies with partner clubs and medical institutions — the basis for trust, marketing claims and future approvals.
Key roles in embedded engineering, data science and sports medicine — to turn the proven toolbox into a product.
Pilot programmes with clubs and insurers in Germany and the USA — football first, then more team sports.
