Motion Analysis: Is it for you?

ZURICH - Jan. 12, 2021 - PRLog -- Considering motion analysis for your fitness apps, fitness equipment, health apps, physical therapy clinic, rehabilitation clinic or health equipment?

It is nothing new to see more and more of what we traditionally did in person shift to an online environment, particularly with the experience and impact that the pandemic cursed year of 2020 has brought. One of the last frontiers to transition (or better complement its existing in person offering) a more digitally inclined service is the healthcare space and within it the fitness industry. Emerging technologies and the new normal that we have accustomed to have made virtual fitness and health a viable alternative and in many cases a more preferable one for people. This new operating space is ripe with opportunities that are still to be uncovered, creating exciting potential. One of these is motion analysis, which can act from anything from a personal coach/physician if supported with the right intelligence behind it.
What is motion analysis exactly?

Basically, motion analysis compares two or more consecutive images and return information on the motion in the images. Data is usually captured with sensors or cameras. Through this, motion can be tracked within an image, over time and in what direction.

What can you do with motion analysis technology?

The potential with motion analysis lies in what you do with it, how you use the data provided from analyzing specific movements. Real-time motion analysis opens the door the many applications, such as providing real-time feedback on movement, indicating if exercises are done correctly, or analyzing movements to check whether there is an imbalance that could lead to an injury. We at VAY have developed a motion analysis algorithm that can already do the former, with the latter being an application intended for the future. In essence, use cases for our application are plentiful. Virtual fitness solutions can provide their users with live-feedback on their exercise execution, enabling them to instantly correct them and avoid injuries, just as if training with a personal coach, seeing progress faster. Our solution can also be integrated into gym equipment, offering the same personal coach like feedback mechanism through it. Furthermore, physiotherapists can have their patients perform recovery exercises with our technology, ensuring that the rehabilitation process is done and also done effectively at home, with the physician being able to track it from afar. With many more applications in the works and out there.
