adidas has developed a digital coaching platform called miCoach that uses wearable technology to provide personalized training plans and expert coaching advice to fitness athletes of all levels. The miCoach system collects metrics like heart rate, power, speed, and other data from sensor-enabled apparel and devices. It then uses this biometric data to provide individualized insights into athletes' performance and tailored workout recommendations to help them reach their goals faster and safer. By measuring more than just activity, miCoach aims to give fitness athletes the same kind of expert coaching support and customized training that elite athletes receive.
