A clever AI algorithm soaked in big data and cooked up by our resident brain surgeon measures your strength, fitness and stress levels using the sensors on your phone. The Freak instantly compares your scores with thousands of players across the globe and lets you know exactly where you stand in the world or in your hood. Download and find out right now!Most people stop exercising/meditating/eating well after only a few weeks. Unfortunately, it usually takes months if not years for you to see the results in the mirror, the gym or on the track. Fitness Freak gives players a score that reflects the condition and improvements in their actual cardiovascular system rather than some visual love-handle pinch test metric. Fitness Freak's score is a lot more sensitive and will start to improve only after a week or two of basic exercise, hopefully keeping you motivated to live a healthier lifestyle.
The Freak calculates the amount of energy that you exert while shaking your phone. We estimate your pulse through the phone's camera by looking at how blood flows through your finger tip. We put all of these readings and a few more through our proprietary algorithm. In the end you get a score which has strong correlation with classic lab based measures of fitness, such as the VO2 Max and Anaerobic and Lactate Thresholds; as well as the trusty arm-wrestle test. We are currently working on a much bigger game with fine-tuned algorithms, much more game play and international competitions coupled with a more rigorous stress measurement capability.
Fitness Freak is a first proof of concept version on top of which we are currently building a much deeper game aimed at promoting healthy living through competition and small step achievement-based encouragement. We hope to grow Fitness Freak into an everyman alternative to something like the Olympic Games. Where over a series of months, a large group of players from around the world could quickly run through a series of tests and allow us to evaluate them against their peer groups or local/national/international levels showing their fitness/strength/relaxation progress over time. We would be grateful for your support – please subscribe here, at www.dc1ab.com and we'll let you know when our Kickstarter is live in January.
