THE SOLUTION
Sensor
Estimated time for 100m: 1.11:36
Sensor measures the
movement directly from the
observation point
Data is immediately
available on the needed
granularity
Data is stored in cloud for
further analysis,
comparison and
sharing

Next steps
• Go-To-Market for swimming will be organized
• Stepwise piloting program with selected clubs & training centers
• Campaign in the triathlon competitions during the summer
• Proof of concept triggered for the next sports
• Run an investment round to get ready for wide scale market entry
Success factors so far
• Capability to operate in “agreement world”
• Nokia&MSFT working environment was built on collaboration and trust
• Working the same way has enabled us focusing on the essential:
interacting with the customers to solve their problem
• Insight on the customer problem
• Knowing the “November night feeling” helped getting close enough initial guess on the
solution
• Low barrier to the customer base
• Wealth of interest and willingness to participate
• “Laughing versions” regularly validated with the most critical key users
The Challenge
This is the trend …
… and there is a solution launched daily …
Example on Twitter @Wareable
“Meet Vi, the 'first true AI trainer' from LifeBEAM”
http://www.wareable.com/meet-the-boss/vi-ai-coach-smart-earbudshearables
Vi connects to your Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, Fitbit, Strava and
whatever device you use for exercise.
"After two to three training sessions, Vi will start teaching you some very
cool insights and suggestions, and anything that can help you get to your
goal and motivate you.“
Are we keeping up with the competition ?
• In addition to a unique product, there is a long list of “plumbing” which could be
more-or-less commonly organised
• Technical scalability
• Small size of companies forces to focus on individual technologies
• Interoperability of the solutions
• Independent data storages will not live for long
• Sales&marketing
• Individual efforts are not enough to break outside the “niche”
• HW Operations
• 1k/month is doable for anybody but how far will that take
• SW Operations
• Scaling from individual local server to global service platform ???
Trainesense is willing to continue
building winning solution in
collaborative environment !!
