Problem
Traditional methods of monitoring athletic performance and health often rely on infrequent lab testing or wearable sensors that are bulky, uncomfortable, and capture limited data. This makes it difficult to gain a comprehensive understanding of an athlete's biomechanics and physiological state in real-world training and competition scenarios. The lack of continuous, integrated data hinders effective injury prevention and performance optimization.
Solution
Nextiles offers a wearable technology platform that integrates flexible electronics directly into athletic apparel, providing a seamless and comprehensive data capture experience. Their patented fabric sensor technology measures Newtonian forces, range of motion, and micromovements, offering insights beyond traditional IMU-based wearables. The system combines comfortable compression fabrics with integrated circuitry to monitor athlete health and performance metrics outside of a traditional sports lab setting. Data is transmitted in real-time via Bluetooth and stored both in the cloud and locally, with options for custom API integrations. This allows coaches and athletes to monitor, assess, and improve athlete health from anywhere, using scalable software designed for ease of use.
Target Audience
Nextiles primarily targets coaches, athletes, and sports medicine professionals seeking detailed, real-time data on biomechanics and physiological performance to optimize training, prevent injuries, and improve athletic outcomes.
