Indian startup develops smart wearables to boost fitness
An Indian start-up has developed a range of fitness wearable’s, such as \'smart\' shoes and bands, integrated with a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI) health coach which provides users a personalised feedback, based on their real-time performance and training.
Washington: An Indian start-up has developed a range of fitness wearable’s, such as 'smart' shoes and bands, integrated with a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI) health coach which provides users a personalised feedback, based on their real-time performance and training.
While a variety of fitness trackers and apps are available in the market, most generate data that users are not able to appropriately interpret. "Till now, all activity trackers and wearable’s gave data. We are conspiring to change that by inferring this data and giving it meaning," Arnav Kishore, CEO and co-founder of Boltt, told PTI.
"With an ever-growing market for wearables and people taking fitness seriously in India, there is an increased focus on how we consume what is sold in the name of 'fitness,'" said Aayushi Kishore, co-founder of the company.
The wearables, including 'smart' bands, attachable strider sensors and connected shoes, give users "actionable" insights from the data gathered with an interactive app. The app uses statistics and data captured from the connected devices to help make better training and running decisions.
The AI-enabled app offers personalised coaching in the form of voice or chat. The Siri-like voice provides real-time coaching and in- ear dynamic audio feedback, based on the users' real-time performance and training.
