OARCA is a mobile platform that synchronizes with rowing hardware—including smart glasses, action cameras, heart‑rate monitors, and Concept2 ergs—to record stroke‑by‑stroke data and GPS telemetry. It applies AI‑driven analytics for real‑time performance metrics, interval feedback, and technique insights, and provides a coach dashboard with live location tracking, centralized scheduling, and emergency alerts for team training.

Problem
Rowers and coaches often rely on fragmented data sources—manual logs, separate device apps, and inconsistent metrics—making it difficult to capture precise stroke counts, monitor heart‑rate zones, and assess performance trends across indoor and outdoor sessions. This lack of integrated, real‑time analytics hampers training efficiency, safety monitoring, and progress tracking.
Solution
OARCA delivers a unified mobile platform that synchronizes with a wide range of rowing hardware (smart glasses, action cameras, heart‑rate sensors, and Concept2 ergs) to capture stroke‑by‑stroke data with high accuracy. The app aggregates GPS routes, heart‑rate zones, and device telemetry, then applies AI‑driven analytics to generate actionable insights such as interval performance, target‑zone compliance, and technique feedback. Users can create or select structured training plans, view real‑time heads‑up displays, and share results via social channels. For teams, OARCA provides a coach dashboard with live location tracking, centralized workout scheduling, and an emergency safety call feature, enabling coordinated training and rapid response on the water.
Target Audience
The primary users are individual rowers—recreational, competitive, and fitness‑focused—and rowing coaches or clubs that require centralized performance monitoring and safety tools.
