The Slovak sportswear company has been on the market since 2021. The emerging sportswear brand, is dedicated to producing performance socks that prioritize foot and ankle injury prevention and athlete performance enhancement. The company is entering an underserved market with its groundbreaking, featuring embedded sensors in the ABS silicone. These socks offer a multitude of benefits, including monitoring various performance and health parameters like pressure, humidity, temperature, and strain, as well as GPS parameters such as time, distance, speed, acceleration, energy consumption, sprints, and training load. This versatility makes them valuable for athletic and health monitoring purposes, even for orthopedic conditions.
The smart socks will serve as a comprehensive tool for measuring and monitoring lower-limb load, on-field imbalance, gait analysis, and fatigue assessment in various sports activities like football, fitness, and running among others. In team sports, they will facilitate performance tracking, data comparison with teammates, and scientific return-to-play assessments. These smart socks excel in capturing precise biomechanical data, ensuring comfort, offering customizable sports-specific metrics, enabling multi-parameter monitoring, and proving adaptable across various sports. They maintain the aesthetic appeal and traditional attire of sports while discreetly enhancing performance and health monitoring. By deploying Machine learning (ML) in our system, we will be able to generate text evaluation reports about the athlete's current health and performance status, create prediction models of performance growth, and perceive the athlete also in terms of predisposition to a certain type of sports activity. In this way, the athlete will be able to optimize and individualize his training program.
