Fine-tune your running technique
A wearable device for runners that goes beyond measuring basic stats such as pace or speed to measuring each foot’s ground-contact time and heel-contact time has been developed by Kinematix. TUNE is the first in-shoe wearable that monitors both feet at the same time to retrieve these parameters.
The wearable device is comprised of a pair of insoles that contain electronic sensors and small electronic devices that connect to the outside of each shoe. The electronic devices collect data in real-time and can identify which part of the foot touches the ground first and for how long.
To allow runners to assess their technique, the TUNE app provides a post-run analysis. The app divides each run into several parts, providing runners with an accurate view of their progression. Based on this analysis, the TUNE app provides runners with a customised exercise plan designed to improve their technique.
“TUNE obtains meaningful information about how runners use their feet to help them run smarter,” said Paulo Ferreira dos Santos, Founder and CEO, Kinematix. “TUNE is sophisticated enough for the most elite runners, but affordable enough for the everyday runner. We want to help people run smarter, and to run smarter means to perform better, to run without pain or injury, and to be healthier and happier.”
TUNE has launched on Kickstarter with a goal to raise $100,000.
