AI-Backed Electric Muscle Stimulators

The PowerDot 2.0 Helps to Strengthen and Recover Muscles

— February 19, 2021 — Tech
The PowerDot 2.0 is a versatile electric muscle stimulator that's designed with portability in mind, making it a convenient tool for both athletes and everyday consumers in search of a product that will help them decrease muscle soreness, stiffness, and chronic pain.

With the inclusion of Smart Recovery AI, the PowerDot 2.0's settings can easily be customized through an associated app, which also shows users how to apply the pads to key muscle groups to reap the benefits of the different treatments that can be activated through it. As the device is used, it will continuously learn about the user's lifestyle so that it can provide custom recovery programs that suit their needs, enabling them to recover faster and train more efficiently. Although the PowerDot app is all that's needed to access its custom recovery programs, users can also choose to connect it to a variety of third-party fitness apps so that they can keep track of their training and recovery schedules. Currently, this includes compatibility with Strava, Garmin, and Apple Health.

To get started, all users need to do is connect the muscle stimulator cables to the electrode pads and then select the program they'd like through the app. Although the app has dozens of programs to choose from, its streamlined layout and clear descriptions make the device accessible to all. Once users click Start Workout, they can start and stop the session whenever they need and adjust the intensity of the stimulator as they go. Both the effectiveness and convenience of the device has made it a favorite among athletes like PGA golfer Scott Stalings, Olympic hurdler Georganna Moline, and pro swimmer Michael Andrew.
