EVOLVE MVMT

The design challenge for EVOLVE MVMT, developed over 17 years, was integrating physiotherapist-patient insights, founder-developed shock absorption technology, and step quality tracking into a discreet, user-friendly wearable. It had to provide precise, real-time data on movement mechanics while ensuring comfort and durability across various physical activities. Additionally, the device needed to meet the needs of athletes, walkers, the elderly, and rehabilitation patients. The challenge was miniaturizing advanced technology into a lightweight, non-intrusive form while maintaining reliability under diverse conditions, and striking a balance between advanced functionality and user comfort.

EVOLVE MVMT is an advanced ankle wearable that captures foot strike data at 250 samples per second using cutting-edge sensors. Its breakthrough device-level algorithms deliver precise, real-time feedback via a custom app, enhancing both patient and athlete performance. Designed ergonomically with soft-touch, breathable materials, it ensures long-term comfort, durability, and prevents Achilles injury, overcoming a key challenge in ankle wearables. Minimalist yet functional, the device offers an intuitive, unobtrusive user experience while providing critical insights for physical activity and rehabilitation. The design successfully addresses challenges that were previously unattainable in wearable technology.

EVOLVE MVMT offers significant impact. Commercially, it opens new markets for personalized, data-driven health solutions, making biomechanical analysis accessible outside of multi-million-dollar lab settings. Environmentally, its durable design minimises waste, and its longevity ensures fewer replacements. Societally, it empowers individuals to optimise their health, reduce injury risk, minimise joint degradation, and burn calories more efficiently by improving their individual walking and running techniques. Medically, the wearables’ ability to improve rehabilitation and enhance running performance has the potential to improve global health outcomes, particularly in the elderly and those recovering from surgery or injury.

The EVOLVE MVMT wearable offers several unique features. Its compact, ankle mounted design provides comfort and unobtrusiveness, allowing users to wear it during various activities, from rehabilitation exercises to athletic training. The device uses advanced sensors to capture detailed data on shock absorption and step mechanics, offering real-time feedback at 250 samples per second. This innovation provides insights previously reserved for high-tech biomechanics labs. The wearable's intuitive design includes vibration signals, light cues, and app-based feedback that guide users on how to optimise their movement. The device integrates seamlessly with a dedicated mobile app, enabling users to track progress and receive personalised recommendations. Durability and comfort were prioritised in the design process, with materials that can withstand long periods of use, even during intense physical activity. The sensor housing is rugged, while the soft touch elastic strap secures the device comfortably, without pressure on sensitive areas like the Achilles tendon. Additionally, the EVOLVE MVMT device is lightweight, ensuring that it does not interfere with movement during activity. The design is minimalistic yet functional, with a clean, neutral colour palette that suits both medical and fitness contexts. This design also minimises packaging waste and focuses on sustainability through thoughtful material selection.
