Record view and share athlete performance. After successfully raising $ 5.5 million in May, the Piq multisport sensor wins the Sport Numericus prize and arrives in the world of trackers.

Small but powerful, this small box which allows athletes to quantify their activity. Because that’s what is all the rage, being able to put numbers on every step you take. This is why the startup Piq intends to position itself in this flourishing market, currently controlled by FitBit, closely followed by Xiaomi.

5mm thick for 9 grams, this sensor measures speed, height, trajectory, etc. the brand announces 13 different types of measurements. This information could be invaluable for a tennis player, a footballer or even a golfer. And given the size of the case, you don't have to bother with it since you can slip it into an armband or protection.

The chip installed in the housing immediately recognizes the sport and starts recording a lot of data that will be sent from the box to the user's smartphone over a Bluetooth connection. The information will then be synthesized by the mobile application, which allows the athlete to review its performance in 3D and receive some tips, which will include highlighting what the athlete did right.

Data broadcast on TV?

More than the particular sports lover, Piq hopes to see its housing evolve and serve during major sporting events. The brand is developing its strategy with sports federations. The idea would be to allow the general public tohave access to athletes' performances in real time. The brand has already made it possible for the world of sport to benefit from this technology at the “2020 FEI Jumping Worldcup” world jumping championships.

A not so stupid concept that could still give a little matter to debate for football fans, for example. It would be cool to be able to comment in the morning in front of his little cafe on the shooting speed of a pro footballer in great shape and challenge his colleagues to try to do as his favorite sportsman.

And if ever by an unexpected miracle or an extraordinary chance you arrive one day without doing it on purpose to perform a technical feat worthy of the greatest, Piq does not forget the sharing dimension in his idea. Whether on Facebook or Twitter, the user can send your videos or graphics on social networks to share with those around him and why not challenge his friends.
