All Your Health Data. One Powerful Hub.

An athlete's health data should live in one place, and it should work for them. We centralize it into a single hub — and design and build the custom devices that feed it, from breadboard to custom PCB, entirely by students.

01 — The ecosystem

One Hub, A Growing Set of Devices

Each device exists because it answers a data question the hub cannot answer without it — not because the hardware was interesting on its own.

MyFitnessTech

Live on iOS & Android

The hub. A cross-platform Flutter app that pulls workouts, nutrition, sleep, hydration, and biometrics into one profile, with an AI coaching layer that reasons across all of it. It stands entirely on its own — download it today and log everything by hand. Our devices just make that logging automatic.

More on the app →

BioBandProtoboard build Wrist wearable streaming heart rate, blood oxygen, ECG, and 6-axis motion over BLE. Automatic rep counting and exercise detection. SipSyncCustom PCB in design Smart bottle attachment that logs every sip automatically. Adaptive hydration targets from activity, body metrics, and weather. Coach DashboardDiscovery Roster-level visualization for teams and coaches — effort, load, readiness, and hydration across a whole squad. Project BeaconDesign phase Physical showcase display streaming live device data at demos, tabling, and club fairs. Grows with every device we ship.

Future devices get chosen the same way: ask what data would most improve an athlete's picture — or what a coach has told us they cannot currently see — then engineer the device that captures it. Explore the projects →

02 — What we do

Centralize. Engineer. Elevate.

Everything we do falls under three connected principles. Individually, none of them is unique. Together, they are the organization.

CentralizeOne hub for everything.

Every device we build streams into MyFitnessTech, alongside everything a user logs by hand. One profile, one complete picture — not a dozen disconnected apps.

EngineerWe design our own hardware around the questions we want answered.

Circuit design, firmware, PCB layout, 3D-printed enclosures — the full stack is student-built, so the full data pipeline is transparent.

ElevateData only matters when it becomes a decision.

Our coaching layer reasons across every stream at once to surface why performance moved, what to change, and what is working.

Our Mission

Centralize health data into one hub and engineer research-driven devices around it — helping everyday people train smarter, athletes unlock more gains, and coaches lead their teams to more wins.

03 — Who we build for

One Ecosystem, Three Audiences

The same centralized data serves each of them differently

Everyday PeopleAll health data in one place, plus coaching that actually knows you.

Hydration, activity, recovery, and progress without the guesswork or the subscription wall.

AthletesDevice-driven tracking that turns training into measurable data.

Reps, heart rate, effort, hydration, and recovery. Find what's working, fix what isn't, and improve against evidence instead of feel.

Coaches & TeamsLive visualization across the whole roster.

Fatigue, effort, readiness, and workload. Spot problems before they become injuries, at student-team prices rather than pro-lab prices.

Our current focus: athlete teams and their coachesBottom-up: we ask coaches first, then build

Our near-term effort is aimed squarely at athlete teams — UW club and varsity programs, campus recreation groups, and small training organizations. The approach is deliberately bottom-up: before we design another device, we ask coaches what they actually want to know about their athletes, and we build toward those answers.

04 — How we're organized

Four Project Teams

Open to all majors and experience levels — the work genuinely requires all of them

ResearchDefines the question before hardware builds the answer

Defines the question before the hardware team builds the answer — literature review, testing protocols, and analysis of data we collect ourselves.

  • Literature review
  • Testing protocol design
  • Coach & athlete interviews
  • Data collection & analysis
  • Academic documentation
Hardware DevelopmentBreadboard to fabricated custom PCB

Takes a device from loose wires on a breadboard to a fabricated custom PCB in a printed enclosure.

  • Circuit design & prototyping
  • ESP32 embedded firmware
  • Sensor integration & testing
  • KiCad PCB layout
  • Soldering & assembly
  • Fusion 360 enclosures & 3D printing
Software & AIBuilds the hub, its BLE links, and the models

Builds the hub itself — the MyFitnessTech app, the BLE protocols that feed it, and the models that turn raw signal into coaching.

  • Flutter app development
  • BLE communication protocols
  • Data pipelines & cloud integration
  • Exercise classification models
  • Personalized coaching logic
Business & MarketingKeeps the hardware funded and the org growing

Keeps the hardware funded and the org growing — because a student organization that can't fund its next PCB run stalls.

  • Funding: STF, grants, sponsorships
  • Team & community partnerships
  • Social media & content
  • Events & recruitment
A staged hardware pipelineBreadboard → Protoboard → Custom PCB → Enclosure → Validation

Every device moves through the same de-risked path — each stage validates assumptions before we commit money to the next.

01
Breadboard

Sensors and microcontroller wired loose, data streaming end to end. Proves the measurement is possible at all.

02
Protoboard

Soldered build in a wearable form factor, paired to the app. Proves it works off the bench, on a body.

03
Custom PCB

KiCad schematic and layout, professionally fabricated and assembled. Proves it can be made repeatably and small.

04
Enclosure

3D-printed housing in Fusion 360, ergonomics and durability testing. Proves people will actually wear or carry it.

05
Validation

Integration, user testing, benchmarking, research data collection. Proves the numbers can be trusted.
