GaitAnalysisPLUS
Read full descriptionHide full description
Welcome to the future of Gait Analysis! Introducing the revolutionary GaitAnalysisPLUS - for Physiotherapists, GAIT researchers, doctors, and sports coaching! This app combines our well-known and reliable Stridalyzer Sensor Insole based gait analysis with vision-based pose and gait analysis, to offer you a one-of-a-kind solution! Using the pressure and motion data from the sensor insoles, and vision data from your iPhone’s camera, the app builds an extremely accurate, real-time model of the forces, motion and position of not only the feet, but the entire body. Using that model, the app can provide exact analysis of the user’s posture, gait, biomechanical forces and its effects, etc. Use the app in your rehab session, for sports performance analysis or for gait research. The app can work with or without the sensor insoles, using only the vision data if there are no insoles connected. Please note - the app uses several features and capabilities in your phone that can severely drain your battery. 1. The app connects to the sensor insoles using BlueTooth LE. The app continue to run, will keep the connection, and will continue communicating with the insoles if connected, even in background mode with display off. This will impact the battery life of your phone. 2. The app will use your iPhone’s back camera to capture video for vision-based gait analysis. This feature will only work when the app is in foreground and open. The vision analysis uses your phone’s machine-learning capabilities, and consumes a significant amount of power. We strongly recommend using the vision analysis capability when your phone is connected to a charger cable, ideally placed on a phone holder/stand.

Your Apple Watch never gave you a real cycling VO2max. GOVO2 does. GOVO2 is built for cyclists who train with power meter pedals and are done settling for a walk-derived number from Apple, or a passive estimate from a device that keeps their algorithm in a black box. GOVO2 runs a real cycling ramp test on iPhone and gives you a VO2max number that is based on research. GOVO2 also gives you the tools to train and improve: • Zone 2 for the aerobic base • Intervals to push the ceiling higher • Progress summary so that you can clearly see the trends WHAT YOU NEED • iPhone running iOS 17 or later • Apple Watch, or a Bluetooth heart rate monitor (Garmin HRM, Polar H10, Wahoo TICKR, and other standard BLE HRMs) • A Bluetooth cycling power meter or smart trainer WHAT GOVO2 DOES • Cycling VO2max ramp test with live power and heart rate • Zone 2 rides with target heart rate guidance • Interval workouts anchored to your test results • Per-ride history with second-by-second sensor data • Optional Apple Health write-back for VO2max • Transparent methodology. HONEST LIMITS GOVO2 is a fitness app. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose conditions, and does not clear anyone to exercise. If you have health concerns, talk to your doctor before starting or changing a training program. Stop and seek care for chest pain, unusual shortness of breath, dizziness, or symptoms that feel wrong. METHODOLOGY AND PRIVACY The full methodology lives at govo2.com/methodology.
