Posture Corrector for $ 10 million. Lumo Lift introduced a new platform for motion control.

Lumo Bodytech, the developer of products such as Lumo Lift and Lumo Run, this month introduced two new products. And if one of them - smart shorts - seems to be quite expected, the development of a software platform for controlling movements during training caused a wide response in the press and allowed to attract an investment of $ 10 million. More inside.

The developers claim that this service allows you to unleash the full potential of the human body, in the sense that the technologies used here provide full monitoring of the training and also provide an opportunity to conduct classes more efficiently.

Platform algorithms are based on biomechanics , so that the athlete receives complete information about the features of almost all of his movements during training. After analyzing this information, the Lumo Platform shows what can be improved.

The Lumo Platform includes four main elements.



Cloud - provides data storage, information analysis tools, machine analysis tools and predictive data analysis.



Applications - The software provides the connection between the hardware and the cloud.



Algorithms - accurate assessment of biomechanical parameters of motion. Thanks to this, the user gets complete information about the features of the workout, and can analyze their movements in detail.



Iron is sensors, modules and detectors, as well as wearable electronic systems that combine all this in themselves.

As a result, we get a fairly functional platform that unites such areas as clothing, fitness, and health. The Lumo Platform can be useful both for a professional athlete and for an office worker who constantly hunches, slouches, and thereby harms his health.

It should be noted that such analytics have already been “selected”. Suffice it to recall the tool for the analysis of the biomechanics of movement - ViMove , which I wrote on Habrahabr. Now there are Sensoria projects that control movement while running, allowing you to work out the correct setting of the foot. And the Lumo Lift corrector itself had the functions of “remembering” the amount of time you spent without slouching, but without deep analysis.

Smart clothing is one of the leading trends in wearable electronics, and today, for fun and for sports, a large number of products are being created. November 3, ended fashion show tech clothes, hosted by IBM .

It is therefore not surprising that Lumo BobyTech decided to draw attention to this niche. Despite the fact that the Lumo corrector was light, tiny, unobtrusive, it still remained an “additional element” on the human body, and a much more understandable “gadget” was chosen for training - the smart Lumo Run shorts.

Smart shorts are equipped with an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and barometer. All these are elements of a system that is able to read information about the length of a user's step, foot setting, pace of running. In the process of training, the shorts will transfer data to the application, and it, in turn, will give advice on how to conduct a more effective workout.



This complex is ideal for runners and also replaces the activity tracker, allowing you to minimize the number of gadgets. Only the heart rate monitor will remain.

Lumo is the leader and the most notable player in the market for non-medical devices for the prevention of diseases of the back and correction of posture and body shape. Its most notable product is the electronic posture corrector Lumo Lift with the function of a fitness tracker .

Despite the rapidly developing market of posture correctors, Lumo gadgets still occupy the first positions in this niche.

In the entire history of the company, three devices were presented together with Lumo Run: the already removed from production Lumo Back corrector for the lumbar spine, Lumo Lift and the current development paired with a smart platform.

This allowed Lumo, despite the decline in financing startups in the field of wearable electronics, to attract $ 10 million investment this year.

Lumo Lift in Russia can be purchased in the Medgadgets.
