Problem
Existing fitness equipment lacks engaging interfaces, often leading to user boredom and inconsistent exercise habits. Traditional methods of measuring exercise intensity and cardiovascular health metrics are limited in their ability to provide real-time, actionable insights for preventative care.
Solution
Cardio HUB offers an interactive exercise platform that integrates IoT technology with fitness equipment, connecting users to immersive gaming simulations and XR environments. The system measures exercise load and intensity in real-time by calculating watt output from pedal movements, providing immediate feedback on workout performance. This data is then used to estimate Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) and can be combined with ECG data (via smartwatch integration) for AI-powered analysis. By converting exercise data into HID protocol signals, Cardio HUB enables seamless interaction with various games and content, transforming static workouts into engaging, data-driven experiences.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals seeking engaging and data-driven fitness experiences, healthcare providers interested in preventative cardiovascular disease solutions, and developers of fitness games and XR environments.
Features
- Real-time measurement of exercise intensity (watt) derived from ergometer pedal movements
- HRR estimation based on individual exercise intensity (watt)
- HID protocol conversion of exercise data for seamless integration with games and XR environments
- AI-powered analysis of ECG data (smartwatch integration coming soon) correlated with exercise watt output
- Vibration pattern analysis using machine learning to determine exercise engagement
- Compatibility with existing indoor bikes via add-on Cardio Kit
