A large number of avid runners experience an injury that will stop them from running on either a short or long-term basis, so the iKinesis wearable running coach is intended to help prevent this from occurring.
The fitness wearable works by being worn on the body during training and will go to work monitoring the runner's form in real-time. Runners can take advantage of information about how to improve their form as they go and can analyze data post-run to see where adjustments can be made.
The iKinesis wearable running coach takes an upstream approach to the common occurrence of running injuries and could help to drastically reduce them by helping runners make small changes to their form, according to their needs.
