Problem
Traditional methods of monitoring physiological metrics during exercise, such as VO2, respiration rate, and heart rate, often require uncomfortable skin contact or restrictive masks, potentially hindering athletic performance and user experience. Existing wearable sensors may lack the precision needed to accurately track subtle changes in breathing patterns and exertion levels.
Solution
LLUME employs patented Light Lace® technology, a soft, stretchable fiberoptic sensor integrated into a chest strap, to measure chest expansion and derive real-time data on VO2, respiration rate, and heart rate without requiring skin contact. By directly measuring chest expansion, the system provides insights into fatigue, recovery, and performance levels. The fiberoptic sensor captures a high volume of data points, enabling more precise monitoring of breathing patterns and respiratory exertion zones compared to traditional heart rate monitors.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes athletes, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts seeking accurate, real-time physiological data to optimize training and recovery.
