Heddoko is a smart compression garment developed by the Heddoko company (Japanese for "coach"). The clothes are equiped wit built-in sensors, which monitor and capture the user's positions, velocity, acceleration and movement in 3D. The garment is paired with a mobile application, which is capable of visualizing the recorded 3D movement and provides the user with feedback in real time, effectively serving as a personal "coach". the application also collects the data and uploads them to the cloud in order to be analysed by artificial inteligence. The gathered information is then made available through Heddoko's web application, which can be of use for real-life coaches. Over time, user's profile can be created, enabling the monitoring of progress, comparsions to other users and additional services.

Main characteristics
The Heddoko suit contains multiple fabric sensors developed by StretchSense (Aucland, new Zealand), which are incorporated into the textile of the garment. The fabrice sensors are capable of changing their capacitance according to the deformation of the fabric when it becomes stretched and alos have a sewable ‘dead zone’ around the edges, so that they may be sewn into garments without damaging the active sensing area. Therefore, the garment is capable of measuring motion in multiple axes without causing noticeable reaction pressure. Furthermore, the sensors are connected to an electronic module, which in turn transmits data in real-time to the companion application. With the range of 50 m and utilisation of Wireless Blootooth Low Energy (LE)connection (transmission of sensor data is 50 Hz, Heddoko is able to work with applications demanding low-powwer operations and the battery life is estimated around 4 hours of continuous tracking. Thanks to the internal memory in the the battery pack, the option for offline usage and sata collection is available as the date can by downloaded and analysed later.

Purpose
Heddoko is a smart garment that continuously tracks user's body movement in 3D. Through linked companion application it guides the user to achieve better performace in sports, tracks vital signs and can help with injury prevention.
