Danu Sports
A disruptive start-up that is breaking down the boundaries of unnatural lab-based analysis. Providing an award-winning, wearable gait analysis system for injury & performance analysis in the sports and medical industries. “Our feet were made to walk and run and climb once in a while. Bare feet can be great at all of that, but what the modern athlete asks of their feet, is far beyond what they were originally designed to do.” (Tinker Hatfield, Nike). Our feet are such an integral part of our body. They help us perform rigorous tasks in our day to day activities, which include jumping, running, walking, climbing, and more. Danu Sports revolutionary smart socks analyses these tasks live, anytime, anywhere. Empowering coaches and athletes with a smart and accurate tool to improve physical performance, reduce injury occurrence and improve rehabilitation times. We have developed a pair of smart socks & gait analysis software that provides the same level of accuracy as the lab-based competitors but without the restrictions of lab-based analysis.
