IMI Race vs Smart Runner

IMI Race is a modern application designed to enhance communication and coordination within teams supporting athletes during the most demanding endurance events, such as triathlons and ultra-triathlons. The project was developed in close collaboration with coaches, support crews, and nutrition specialists. We thoroughly understood their needs and transformed them into a precise, intuitive tool. Key App Features: • Spectators – receive push notifications and can follow the live progress of the event. • Race Coordinator – responsible for registering laps and tracking each stage of the race. • Coaches and Support Team – can add real-time notes to laps. • Nutritionist – can view all notes (read-only) and add nutritional comments. • AI – analyzes the race after each lap. Smart Information Exchange: Thanks to the per-lap notes and data sharing features: • the team can monitor what is happening with the athlete in real time and respond immediately (e.g. in case of a crisis or urgent need), • coaches and support staff can generate AI-powered reports. With a single tap, the system analyzes the current stage, considers notes and statistics, and generates a comprehensive report assessing goal execution and race progression. Live Notifications for Spectators: Once push notifications are enabled, spectators receive alerts: • at the start of the race, • upon completion of the swim, cycling, and running stages, and a final summary at the end of the competition.
