I am beginning to develop a phone app aimed at the fitness market, which will help users to maintain, improve and measure their fitness. It will take data from a wireless heart rate monitor (chest strap), the phones GPS sensor and from user input (e.g. weight).
Of course this can already be done (e.g. Runkeeper, CardioTrainer, iFitness) and the app will include all of the features and analysis present in these apps. However, I am also looking to include novel features that are not available elsewhere which is where you can help!
What I would like to know is the kind of novel features that you would find useful in such an app. Are there things like VO2max and EPOC which could be calculated and which you would find useful? I have access to expertise in signal analysis and machine learning is there any information that might be extracted from the sensor data which you might find useful, e.g. breathing rate, a measure of the users level of fitness (e.g. Conconi test), a measure of when exercise intensity is too high?
Thanks for your time when (if!) the product comes to market I will send each of you who provides useful feedback with a free sensor/app as an expression of my gratitude. Thanks very much, Tom
