StrideForm: AI Running Gait Analyzer
Mobile app that uses phone camera to analyze running form in real-time, identifying injury-risk biomechanics and suggesting micro-corrections for distance runners.
The Problem
Most runners develop injuries from poor form but don't get feedback until it's too late. Gait analysis typically costs $200-500 at specialty clinics and requires in-person visits. Runners need accessible, continuous form monitoring during actual training, not just once-off professional assessments.
Target Audience
Distance runners (half-marathon to ultramarathon) aged 25-55 who train seriously but don't have access to running coaches, plus casual joggers wanting to prevent injury.
Why Now?
Phone cameras + on-device vision APIs (Vision API, MediaPipe) make real-time gait analysis viable without expensive hardware. Running injury rates are up post-COVID (more casual runners), creating demand.
What's Missing
Existing solutions are either desktop-based lab tools, expensive coaching apps, or basic step counters. No one has built a frictionless, phone-camera-based form coach that works during actual runs with actionable micro-feedback.
