FocusMotion Releases New SDK to Automatically Track Movement, Exercises and Gestures

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FocusMotion,
a motion recognition algorithm company dedicated to improving health
through movement and gesture quantification via wearables, today
announced that it has released its Fitness software
development kit (SDK)
. For the first time in wearables, the Fitness
SDK allows developers using any platform and OS the ability to
automatically track movements, exercises and gestures.


FocusMotion provides developers a database of more than 50 exercises,
including bodyweight, dumbbell, barbell and machine movements that will
continue to grow over time. Developers can engage with FocusMotion and
ask for new movements to be added. The SDK also includes Robo, a
powerful machine learning tool, that allows users to record their own
movements and have the movement recognized and counted in a matter of
seconds.

“FocusMotion’s core expertise is understanding movements, exercise and
gestures, but we know that there’s more to human movement than our
current catalog – a gym-goer, a yogi, a golfer, a factory worker,” said
Cavan Canavan, co-founder and CEO of FocusMotion. “These users need
specially designed solutions, so we wanted to give developers direct
access to incredibly powerful signal processing and machine learning
tools to help them craft great experiences.”

The algorithm has already been vetted with partnered brands, including Samsung,
Microsoft, Pebble and Fitocracy, but this is the first time it is
available for general use. Fitocracy leveraged these tools to create Fito+Pebble
powered by FocusMotion
, the first-ever iOS app that allows Pebble
smartwatch users to automatically track their exercises and workouts.

The FocusMotion SDK works on Android and iOS and is free for up to
10,000 users. It is open on any platform that provides direct access to
the raw accelerometer data, such as Android Wear devices, Pebble
watches, the Microsoft Band, and others, including the Apple Watch,
which will be available later in 2015.

Canavan added: “There is so much more to human movement than steps and
sleep. This is only the beginning of what’s possible. We’re looking
forward to seeing what developers create.”
