With this update, Ochy takes performance analysis to the next level: the app can now estimate your running speed, directly from your video. It’s one more step toward a complete understanding of your technique — no sensors, no lab required.
Thanks to extensive research, Ochy now delivers scientific-grade precision on key metrics:
In short: the data you receive is reliable enough to truly support your progress, with impressive results achieved from simple smartphone footage.
When it comes to kinematics, the knee joint shows the highest level of accuracy, comparable to results from advanced 3D motion studies. Hip joint analysis also performs well, while ankle and elbow readings are more impacted by the limits of 2D pose estimation — a known area for future improvement.
What’s remarkable is that all of this precision comes from casual video recordings — not high-speed cameras or treadmill labs, proving Ochy’s ability to make elite-level tools available to everyone.
This update isn’t just about numbers — it also brings noticeable improvements to your everyday experience:
Whether you’re just getting started or chasing a new PR, this update gives you powerful new tools to better understand your running, improve smartly, and reduce injury risk.
