RunEASI is a KU Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) sports tech spin-off. Their mission is to make the world run better and help people to enjoy pain free running by leveraging scientific research in Biomechanics and Artificial Intelligence. The first step was to verify with physiotherapists the idea of RunEASI to analyze the runners’ movements with the smallest possible budget - to limit the risk of investment. After achieving the goals set for the MVP version, the next step was to build a high quality product.Runeasi wanted to make a mobile application working with the sensor and to start testing the wearable technology with physios and their patients. They came with a list of many features they wanted to implement and asked for an estimation. Leaware, using their own new product discovery process, helped Runeasi to define the main purpose of using the first version of an application and to choose the most important functionalities, setting the minimal budget. The crucial thing on that stage was to enable physiotherapists to measure impact and interpret the data efficiently. The whole documentation was created and the development was done in a short time. It enabled Runeasi to test the solution with physios and gather invaluable feedback.RunEASI decided to collaborate with Leaware for future improvements and extensions of their product. They also got funding from The Flemish Agency for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (VLAIO) that will allow them to test the product market fit of some other ideas that they have in their pipeline.
