💎 Idea
AeroCoach is a space-enabled sports analytics system that helps endurance athletes improve performance using real-time environmental data. The problem: outdoor athletes train in unpredictable weather that impacts energy efficiency, hydration, and safety — but current wearables only measure the body, not the surroundings. Our solution: AeroCoach provides wearable solutions that measures the local surrounding temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind directly from the athlete’s route. This data is analyzed into a Weather Cost Score (WCS) — quantifying how the environment affects performance — giving coaches actionable insights for safer, smarter, and more efficient training sessions anywhere on Earth.
🛰️ EU Space Technologies
AeroCoach provides precise tracking of athletic performance and local environmental conditions, allowing for coaches and athletes to understand how they perform under varying weather conditions. We obtain precise location data via Galileo GNSS and weather data via state-of-the-art environmental sensors and Copernicus Earth observational data. Combining these data with health analytics provides a hollistic understanding of how athletes perform under every conditions. These EU space assets make AeroCoach a living example of how space communication and data can empower human performance and safety on the ground.
🌍 EU Space for Consumer Experience
We address the challenge Space-Powered Performance – Transforming Sports. AeroCoach enhances athlete and coach experiences by transforming space IoT data into practical, real-time training insights. It enables cyclists to understand how weather affects effort, performance, and recovery — using space connectivity to make sports smarter, safer, and more sustainable.
