Project description
A smart monitor for rowing technique
Indoor rowing is fun and a great form of aerobic exercise. But unlike other exercise machines, rowing machines require a level of technique and proper positions. The Finnish Quiske sports technology start-up has developed an innovative, affordable, easy-to-use system (RowP) that gives instant feedback and post-training analytics for on-water and indoor rowing. The system consists of a lightweight multifunctional pod that measures handle or seat speeds giving instant feedback accessible by any smartphone display. An advanced algorithm analyses and compares rowers’ techniques in the RowP cloud service. The system also includes an innovative Virtual Coach and has the potential to feature augmented reality technology. The EU-funded Quiske RowP project will carry out the feasibility study for commercialisation.
Objective
Quiske is a Finnish sports technology startup company. The Quiske team have developed an advanced yet affordable and simple to use RowP product which helps rowers improve their technique. The RowP system gives instant feedback and post-training analytics for on water as well as indoor rowing. The pilot product was first launched in the summer and has since generated interest worldwide. Quiske seeks funding to create a business plan commercialize the product and to reach new markets.
The RowP product consists of a lightweight and affordable multifunctional pod which can measure handle or seat speeds and the instant feedback can be viewed on any smartphone display. Advanced algorithms allow analyzing and even comparing the technique of rowers with each other in the RowP cloud service. We are bringing the advanced rowing performance measurements not only to elite competitive rowers but also to the much higher volume indoor rowing market to help anyone learn to row correctly. The RowP system also includes a Virtual Coach to help indoor rowers improve their performance. Indoor rowing is practiced by 100s of millions of people in gyms across the world. However, most people do it with bad technique which doesn’t help improve their fitness optimally.
In addition to the innovative Virtual Coach we we will also bring Augmented Reality to make the indoor rowing experience better. The RowP App will be gamified to make it more fun to use and to include sharing of results to social media. Based on request from customers we will also build an iOS version of the App.
The feasibility study will result in a business plan to roll out the RowP product and analytics platform globally and to collect and technically validate the features for the commercial RowP product, that our first pilot customers have asked for.
