About Ochy - Running form analysis

RECORD, ANALYZE, IMPROVE

Ochy offers runners, coaches, physiotherapist the possibility to evaluate running technique from anywhere using video and AI in order to prevent injuries or improve performance. This is an analysis of the gait and full body. The app identifies the runner’s weak points and provides details and what they should do to improve. The app provides the following analysis and running metrics:
- Foot strike – understand how the foot lands on the ground (heel, midfoot, forefoot) in relations to your center of mass
- Head position – Are you looking down when your run or straight ahead
- Back position – Do you have a good enough forward lean
- Arm position – Are your arms relaxed
- Heel kick – Are you driving your legs up far enough
- Front leg flexion – is your leg too bent causing you to lose energy
- Ground contact time – how much time are you spending on the ground
- Time between steps – How much time you take between the steps
- Vertical oscillation – Are you doing too much bouncing
- Leg cycle – Do you have a good leg flow

HOW IT WORKS

- Record or upload a video (7 seconds maximum) of yourself running
- Receive a detailed analysis of your running technique within 60 seconds
The core AI technology computer vision to capture the movement of a person regardless of where they are running (on the road, forest, track, treadmill etc). This is then plugged into a biomechanics algorithm that considers every part of the body plus the person’s height, weight, gender, and running speed so we provide a diagnosis-specific for them. With that, the algorithm points out which area of the body the movement is not optimal for the running activity they are doing. Base on the analysis, we identify the weak points of the person and use an improved algorithm to provide a specific muscle groups to work on to improve the weak points so the person can run more efficiently in order to prevent injuries or improve performance.
