BUILT BY ATHLETES, FOR ATHLETES
OUR MISSION
Helping athletes never getting injured again
Injuries affect over 91% of athletes, making professional clubs in the US lose over $8.5B a year, and marking for many athletes the end of their careers.
We both were athletes before, and lived through the injuries, which marked the end of our careers.We strongly believe that many injuries can be prevented with our devices by notifying the user when they are at a high risk of injury.
Our mission is to use AI and wearable sensors to help athletes never get injured again.
OUR VISION
Helping athletes reach their full potential
As an athlete, there is a constant search for improvement, training further, and becoming the best. We want to help athletes reach their full potential, improve their performance, and give them insights about their strain and recovery to ensure they have the right amount of the right training.
We use sEMG sensors and AI to provide science-backed recommendations to perform at the best.
