DANU Sports

From software and hardware review towards development partner

DANU Sports introduction

DANU Sports, an innovator in sports motion analysis, has developed revolutionary smart socks. They are designed to prevent athlete injuries by real-time monitoring of body movements, such as gait and sole pressure, and providing essential insights for safer training.

When Danu Sports approached Elitac Wearables, they were preparing for their product launch, but encountered unexpected behaviour in their beta firmware and hardware. This raised concerns about the user experience, potentially delaying the launch.

Danu Sports wanted some honest feedback about their product status – a second opinion as you will – for which they chose Elitac Wearables as an external expert on wearable technology development.

At Elitac Wearables, we understand the importance of launching a flawless product. That’s why DANU Sports turned to us for a comprehensive embedded software (firmware) and hardware review, before launching their product to the market.

First step: an honest Hardware & Firmware Review

Looking for an honest second opinion, we started with a global review of their firmware and hardware from our experts, identifying both strengths and areas for improvement.

After this step we did a complete firmware rewrite to have a scalable and better to support firmware. This helped the Danu Sports by saving time on integrating new functionality.

In-depth Software Review

In our recent global review of the firmware, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation to provide an unbiased third-party opinion. We examined the overall architecture and design principles to ensure they align with best practices and industry standards. Our software experts reviewed the code for maintainability, readability, and scalability, identifying areas for potential improvement. We also assessed the documentation quality to ensure it supports effective knowledge transfer and future development. Our findings highlight the strengths of the current implementation and offer strategic recommendations for enhancing performance and reliability. This review aims to provide valuable insights to guide future development efforts.

Inspection and testing of hardware and firmware

Hardware review

In our recent global review of the PCB designs, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation to provide an unbiased opinion. We examined the overall design principles and layout to ensure they align with industry standards and best practices. Our team assessed the design for potential improvements in areas such as component placement, signal integrity, and power distribution. Our findings highlight the strengths of the current design and offer strategic recommendations for enhancing performance and reliability. This review aims to provide valuable insights for future design iterations.
