RunForm AI is your personal AI running coach. Place your iPhone beside the treadmill, and within 3 minutes you'll receive a professional-grade running form analysis with actionable advice. ■ Professional Analysis Without the Lab Say goodbye to expensive gait lab equipment. RunForm AI uses advanced AI pose estimation to analyze your running form through your iPhone camera, measuring 13 key biomechanical metrics—including cadence, vertical oscillation, torso angle, ground contact time, and bilateral symmetry—to pinpoint exactly what needs improvement. ■ Real-Time Voice Coaching As you run, the AI coach provides real-time voice feedback on your form, guiding you to adjust cadence, trunk lean, foot strike patterns, and more. It's like having a professional coach right beside you during every workout. ■ Deep AI Analysis Report After recording, you'll receive a comprehensive form assessment including: • Overall score with rating (Excellent/Good/Fair/Below Average/At Risk) • Four-dimension breakdown scores: stride control, impact management, rhythm stability, and running economy • Personalized focus area for the week • Actionable improvement suggestions • 7-day customized training plan ■ Track Your Progress Every session's metrics are recorded in detail. Historical trend charts let you visualize long-term improvements in cadence, symmetry, stability, and more. AI trend analysis tells you what's improving and what needs continued attention. ■ Smart Quality Gating Before analysis, the system automatically checks video quality—ensuring the runner is fully visible, key points are clear, and lighting is adequate. Analysis only proceeds when quality checks pass, ensuring every assessment is accurate and reliable. ■ Auto Motion Detection No need to tap your phone. Start running and recording triggers automatically. The system intelligently detects when your run starts and ends, letting you focus entirely on running. ■ Your Data, Your Privacy Raw video never leaves your device. Only pose keypoint coordinates are encrypted and transmitted for AI analysis. You can request full account and data deletion at any time, processed within 7 business days. ■ 18 Language Support App interface and voice coaching support 18 languages, including English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, and more. ■ Apple Watch Integration Optional watch companion that supplements heart rate data via Apple Watch for more comprehensive training insights.

RunForm 3D analyzes your running form using monocular 3D pose estimation — just film yourself from the side with your iPhone. - Automatic ground-contact detection - Key determinants of running economy: cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time and more - Per-factor good / acceptable / needs-improvement zones - Form Efficiency Score (0-100, an estimated proxy) with a confidence label How to use: enter your height (optionally target pace), fix your phone and film from the side so the whole body fits, run a few steps, then stop to analyze. Important: The app interface is in Japanese. Scores and metrics are estimates derived from motion, NOT direct measurements of oxygen uptake (VO2) or running economy. This is not a medical device and does not diagnose or guarantee any outcome. Analysis runs on-device.
