runScribe helps to avoid injuries while running

On Habré more than once and not two reviews of gadgets and news were published, with descriptions of new fitness trackers, smart bracelets and other accessories. These devices can count the distance traveled, calories burned, build a workout map. And all this is very useful for a person who is interested in sports (running, jumping, cycling).

But these gadgets, unfortunately, do not allow to understand what prevents a person from showing the best result, and to detect factors that can lead to the appearance of injury. According to the company Scribe Labs , about 65% of people involved in running, every year receive any injuries associated with this sport. Some of these injuries are caused by choosing the wrong running shoes, surface / landscape type and other factors.

In order to detect negative factors that hinder the athlete, a runScribe device was created.

What can runScribe?

This is a small gadget that is mounted on the back of the shoe, and captures the movement of the human foot when running, thanks to the presence of a sensitive 9-axis sensor.

In addition, the device captures and parameters such as setting the foot in contact with the ground, and the force of impact on the surface. All collected data is transmitted by the device to a smartphone application, where all this is displayed in a clear table. At the same time, the data is highlighted in color: green and gray - everything is good, and yellow and red - these parameters should be paid attention not to get injured.



According to the plan, runScribe helps to determine the optimal movement / run parameters for a particular person, which allows not only to improve one’s own results, but also to avoid traumatic situations.

By the way, the developers have already raised more funds for the launch of mass production of their device than planned. Thanks to this added some additional features. For example, on the training map you can now see the sections of the path passed with the optimal setting of the leg, and the areas where the athlete endangered himself:



Unfortunately, there is no GPS module in the device itself, so the map is based on data obtained from a smart watch, smartphone, or any other GPS gadgets.

Results analysis

According to the results of the training, the device charges "points", the final score of the training, which includes the number of steps, the correct setting of the foot, and the time of training and some other data.
