Dev Notes

TracMe and smartwatches have a complementary relationship.

TracMe collects data directly from joints, providing more precise measurements for stationary exercises. In contrast, smartwatches excel in activity tracking based on GPS, which is ideal for distance-based movement.

TracMe uses embedded soft sensor technology within the support to record exercise repetitions. The strain sensors detect joint flexion, counting repetitions as the sensor stretches. Additionally, it identifies correct exercise posture based on this data and only counts repetitions performed with proper form in real time.

Before starting an exercise, the system analyzes the user’s movements. During this process, it measures the range and angles of the user's motions for specific exercises (e.g., squats). Our database contains benchmark values that define the correct posture for each movement. For example, it includes standards for how deep a squat should be to be considered proper form.

By comparing the user's motion data with these benchmark values, the system determines whether the exercise was performed with correct posture. This helps users adjust their form and exercise more effectively.

Simply wearing the sleeve and using the app does not guarantee that exercise repetitions will be automatically recorded. Before starting an exercise, the system requires an initial setup process to analyze the user's movements and establish baseline data. If this process is not properly completed, the support slips out of place, or the exercise posture is incorrect, accurate tracking may not occur, and repetitions may not be automatically counted.

To ensure precise tracking, it is important to securely fasten the support and maintain proper posture during exercises.

If repetitions are not being counted, the app provides guidance to help users identify and correct the issue, such as messages like "Please adjust your support" or "Try correcting your posture." Additionally, the app displays gauge bars for both sleeves, allowing users to check whether the sensors are functioning properly.

Currently, the sleeves are only available as a set, which includes two for elbows and two for knees. This is because we recommend wearing them on both sides to maintain balance between the left and right sides of the body. The set is designed with body symmetry in mind, helping to improve posture and sleeve more effective exercise.

TracMe is continuously developing and updating new features.
