Ochy - Running form analysis

RECORD, ANALYZE, IMPROVE



Ochy offers runners, coaches, and physiotherapists the possibility to perform a personalized full-body running form and gait from anywhere with the use of AI. That way runners can prevent injuries, run efficiently, and improve performance. The app identifies the runner’s strong / weak points and provides details on what they should do to improve. The app provides the following posture analysis and running metrics:
- Foot strike – understand how the foot lands on the ground (heel, midfoot, forefoot) in relation to your center of mass
- Head position – Are you looking down when you run or straight ahead
- Back position – Do you have a good enough forward lean
- Arm position – Are your arms relaxed
- Heel kick – Are you driving your legs up far enough
- Front leg flexion – is your leg too bent causing you to lose energy
- Ground contact time – how much time are you spending on the ground
- Time between steps – How much time you take between the steps
- Vertical oscillation – Are you doing too much bouncing
- Leg cycle – Do you have a good leg flow


HOW IT WORKS

- Record or upload a video (7 seconds maximum) of yourself running
- Receive a detailed analysis of your running form within 60 seconds

The core technology uses computer vision AI to capture the movement of a person regardless of where they are running (on the road, forest, track, treadmill etc). This is then plugged into a proprietary biomechanics algorithm that considers every part of the body plus the person’s height, weight, gender, and running speed so we provide a personalized analysis. With that, the algorithm points out which area of the body the movement is not optimal for the running activity they are doing. Base on the analysis, we identify the weak points of the person and use an improved algorithm to provide specific exercises to work on to improve the weak points so the person can run more efficiently in order to prevent injuries or improve performance.
