Boltt Sports leveraging artificial intelligence in its application for better healthcare monitoring
Boltt, a personal health assistant application created by Boltt Sports Technology, tracks health, training, sleep and nutrition, and gives real-time voice coaching and interactive feedback throughout the day based on artificial intelligence. Founded in 2015 by Aayushi Kishore and Arnav Kishore, the startup also makes “connected” smart shoes, stride sensor and fitness trackers. Aayushi Kishore explained that “We track all verticals, from nutrition to diagnostics. All data points get transmitted to the mobile app, which draws inference and gives virtual automated feedback. The feedback is chat and audio based. We connect dots – like how sleep is affecting your diet, etc. – and give actionable insights”.
The startup has partnered with Garmin, a wearable sensors maker, to work on various sensor forms that capture all forms of body data. Mark Steele commented that “Together with Boltt, we have created a tech-enabled sports training platform called Specialized Sports Performance. This platform will analyse data from the Boltt Stride Sensor and provide real-time feedback by displaying essential metrics of training and well-being of each player for coaches to observe”.
Boltt has received $1 million funding from promoters and two seed rounds, and aims to raise Series A funding soon. It is targeting to launch its products in INR2,000-6,000 range, and forecasts sale of INR50 crore in current financial year.
