MINATEC

Movea will leverage research conducted at Leti to develop new solutions to today’s obesity problem. Leti developed motion detection methods capable of identifying different types of physical activity—such as sitting up straight, slouching, standing, lying down, walking, and running. These physical activity data are then sent to a smartphone installed with real-time analysis software. The next phase of the project will entail converting the data into calories burned.
Leti’s system offers several advantages over similar systems currently available on the market. It is more sensitive and reliable—regardless of the user’s position—and it is also more robust, with a 90% correct recognition rate over the 230 hours of testing performed in partnership with a Lyon hospital.
