Heddoko is a smart compression garment developed by the Heddoko company (Japanese for "coach"). The clothes are equiped wit built-in sensors, which monitor and capture the user's positions, velocity, acceleration and movement in 3D. The garment is paired with a mobile application, which is capable of visualizing the recorded 3D movement and provides the user with feedback in real time, effectively serving as a personal "coach". The application also collects the data and uploads them to the cloud in order to be analysed by artificial inteligence. The gathered information is then made available through Heddoko's web application, which can be of use for real-life coaches. Over time, user's profile can be created, enabling the monitoring of progress, comparsions to other users and additional services.
Contents
Main characteristics
The Heddoko suit contains multiple fabric sensors developed by StretchSense (Aucland, New Zealand), which are incorporated into the textile of the garment. The fabric sensors are capable of changing their capacitance according to the deformation of the fabric when it becomes stretched and also have a sewable ‘dead zone’ around the edges, so that they may be sewn into garments without damaging the active sensing area. (cit = http://www.electronicspecifier.com/sensors/textiles-are-getting-smarter) Therefore, the garment is capable of measuring motion in multiple axes without causing noticeable reaction pressure. Furthermore, the sensors are connected to an electronic module, which in turn transmits data in real-time to the companion application. With the range of 50 m and utilisation of Wireless Blootooth Low Energy (LE) connection (transmission of sensor data is 50 Hz), Heddoko is able to work with applications demanding low-powwer operations and the battery life is estimated around 4 hours of continuous tracking. Thanks to the internal memory in the the battery pack, the option for offline usage and data collection is available, as the data can by downloaded and analysed later. (cit=brochure) In addition, the product is washable.
The Heddoko mobile companion application can be used for visualization of the monitored 3D movement and to access coaching feedback. After user's profile creation, the application can be set-up to take into account any previous injuries or disabilities, offering preloaded sequences of excercise routies (including cross-training, warm-ups and stretching), an option for audio feedback and more personal prefences for customization. Is is also capable of identifing the user's skill level in various specific sports and consequently adapts tolerance tresholds for accuracy measurement. The gatered data are transmited to the artificial intelligence for analysis. Following metrics are gathered automatically: movement accuracy, speed, position over time (joint angles), force (as applied to joints), completion rate of routines and risk of injury (based on quality of movemet, repetitions and velocity).
The archived and analysed user data are accessible through Heddoko's Web dashboard on-line support, which gives users the ability to review their performace and working plans and also serves as knowledge and information-base for real-life coaches and their teams. In addition to other statistiocal features, the system offers comparisons to oher users' averages and enables the creation of personal goals, which can be used for motivation and continuous improvement.
Purpose
Heddoko is a smart garment that continuously tracks user's body movement in 3D. Through linked companion application it guides the user to achieve better performace in sports, tracks vital signs and can help with injury prevention.
