Sensoria debuts wearable development platform at CES 2016
January 07, 2016 - United States Of America
Sensoria Inc., a world leader in wearable fitness technology, has debuted enhancements and updates to its Smart Running System—which is the first and only open, connected multi-garment wearable system on the market—at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the company said in a press release.
The new version of the web dashboard and mobile app are able to collect data for users on two, new valuable metrics—foot impact score and average stride length—as well as provide advanced cardio training through heart rate zone and heart rate variability tracking. The updated web dashboard provides users easy access to more meaningful insights and trends analysis—comparing shoes, impact forces and running form together with more traditional performance metrics across segments within a session, as well as trends over time.
“Our goal is to help people run faster, further and healthier,” said CEO and co-founder Davide Vigano. “The data our technology is able to collect has not been collected before, much less, presented to runners in an easy-to-understand interface. We’ve seen studies that show how impact force and over-striding are linked to injuries so we want to help people identify bad habits, and correct them. Our web dashboard’s virtual shoe closet also makes it easier for people to track the mileage on their shoes, and get automatically notified when it is time to replace them, receiving recommendations on the next best pair of shoes based on their own running form and performance data.”
Sensoria is also expanding its collection of smart upper body garments to enhance the running experience, accommodate more options for exercise under various conditions and provide users with more color choices. New additions to the line will include men’s short sleeve smart t-shirt, men’s long sleeve smart t-shirt, women’s medium support smart sports bra and four new colors: white, red, royal blue and neon green.
In addition to the updated running system, Sensoria will be showcasing its new wearable technology platform, the Sensoria Development Kit. The Sensoria Development Kit allows companies to harness the same technology components used in Sensoria’s smart garment running system to enable smart sensing capabilities across different scenarios.
A key component of this platform is the new Sensoria Core electronics module. Sensoria Core features best of breed, ultra-low power SoC, storage, the ability to connect to multiple footwear and garment embedded sensors and also boasts a 9-axis MEMS sensor. This new embeddable technology will be integrated into Sensoria’s smart garment products, and will also get embedded into third-party footwear and clothing. (SH)
