Twelve teams reached the final stage of the second edition of MEO Empresas’ 5G Challenge, presenting their pitch to the jury and audience.
The prize for the best solution of Portuguese origin, worth 10 thousand euros, was awarded to eSole, a smart insole that evaluates various indicators of athletes’ health and performance on site and in real time and which is being tested at Sporting de Braga. The assessment is based on sensors in the insoles and artificial intelligence and aims to measure athletes’ muscle fatigue and predict the risk of injuries and is currently focused on football.
O eSole é um dispositivo digital vestível criado pela startup portuguesa eDynamics que, recorrendo ao 5G, incorpora sensores, Inteligência Artificial e Internet das Coisas para medir a fadiga muscular e o risco de lesões dos jogadores. Através da medição de vários indicadores, como o toque na bola, a velocidade do sprint ou a distância percorrida, é possível definir planos de treinos com vista a melhorar o desempenho dos atletas.
This Friday, at Braga Municipal Stadium, Demo Day was held – Closing Session of the 2023/2024 season of the SC Braga Innovation Hub. The event was attended by the President of SC Braga, António Salvador, the President of Braga City Council, Ricardo Rio, the President of Microsoft Portugal, Andres Ortolá, and Francisco España, Executive Director of Startups and Digital Natives at Microsoft Portugal.
