Powering Smart Coaching Behind World-Class Athletes
Design and development of an IoT-enabled smart-coach platform for a team of world-champion endurance athletes.
01
The Challenge
Our client was a team of world-class endurance athletes, coaches, and performance researchers. They had a deep knowledge of their field and researched market demand but little experience in building sophisticated web and mobile applications. They needed a trusted partner to translate their vision of bringing high-touch training employed by the world’s top endurance athletes to a wider group of dedicated competitors to reality.
02
The Solution
Our engineering and design team worked closely with our client’s subject-matter experts to develop a comprehensive, dynamic, personalized training platform that was delivered to athletes through a mobile app and chatbot; connected to real-time, wearable IoT data; and automated by an AI and human-in-the-loop system.
03
Our Approach
We worked with our client on the following:
User stories to translate complex subject-matter expert requirements into an incremental application roadmap
UI and UX Design of a multi-user platform for consumers, coaches, and administrators
Sophisticated architecture, including a combined AI and human-in-the-loop automation system; multi-user, bot-enabled, AI expandable chat system; a serializable, extensible dialogue state machine; and a dynamic, multi-time-zone scheduling and calendar system
Integration and data ingestion of real-time, third-party IoT APIs, including Garmin and Apple Health
04
