SmartRun
SmartRun uses AI and real-time heart data to create personalized coaching, pushing runners further than ever before.
Platform: iOS, watchOS
Industry: Health & Fitness
The Mission
To develop an innovative, in-house personal running coach app that offered a more personalised and effective training experience than existing solutions. The primary challenge was to create a system that could move beyond generic workout plans by using AI and heart-rate data to create customized training regimens. This required building a technically sophisticated product capable of integrating with wearable technology like the Apple Watch and Bluetooth sensors, while also implementing custom algorithms, such as the Kalman filter, to accurately estimate real-time metrics like distance and pace for optimal guidance.
The Solution
Internal R&D project developing a personal running coach app for iOS/WatchOS. The app uses heart‑rate data and AI to create personalised training plans and improve running form. It integrates Bluetooth sensors, an Apple Watch extension and custom Kalman filter algorithms to estimate distance and pace.
The Outcome
As an R&D project, the team spent more than 10,000 hours designing and building the SmartRun MVP, showcasing their expertise in health‑tech and AI‑driven personalisation.
