Quiske
We're a Finnish technology startup developing a system which helps you become a better rower. On water as well as on the Ergo. The Quiske System consists of and app and a pod that together can measure, analyze and provide instant feedback on your rowing, so that you can improve and fine tune your technique. Our SW automatically sniffs for rowing strokes and produces real time feedback on both boat specific metrics (boat acceleration and velocity) as well as rower specific metrics (oar and seat work of individual rowers). The system helps both competitive rowers (with e.g. detailed information on oar/seat timing and movement) as well as ordinary gym rowers (find rhythm to enable longer sessions on the erg). All recorded sessions can be uploaded to our web portal for detailed analysis and comparisons.
