The Science Behind Ochy
Ochy turns a single video into real running insights. How? Glad you asked.
Let’s Talk Tech
From day one, we've embraced a rigorous scientific approach, working closely with leading research labs and biomechanics experts. Together, we’ve continuously refined our AI-driven biomechanical models to ensure they deliver accuracy, scientific credibility, and cutting-edge innovation.
Computer Vision AI
Our proprietary pose estimation algorithm is specifically designed for running, enabling us to accurately track joint positions, calculate joint angles and detect key gait events like footstrike and toe-off. This powers precise measurements of essential performance and injury-related metrics, including cadence, ground contact time, and flight time.
Biomechanics
By combining detailed biomechanical data with personalized inputs, like morphology, running habits, and scientific research on running performance and injury prevention, our system identifies the optimal running posture and performance parameters for you.
Corrective Algorithm
Based on your optimal running posture, our system identifies areas for improvement and suggests specific, research-backed exercises. From there, we recommend targeted exercises to help you become a better runner.
