AthleteIQ is a sports technology company focused on enhancing athlete performance and preventing injuries through advanced biometric data. Their core product is AIQ, a reusable wearable patch that utilizes AI and Electromyography (EMG) sensors to provide real-time insights into muscle strain and recovery. The system processes this data to offer personalized AI-driven coaching, notifying users of high injury risk and optimizing training loads. The technology differentiates itself by using muscle biometrics rather than heart rate, offering a more direct measure of muscle exertion.
