SWIM-360 Multimodal Explainable AI for Holistic Swim Optimisation

Image

For Swimmers and Coaches

Swim-360 aims to help swimmers by combining video analysis and real-time biometric data for personalised insights.

Image

An Innovative Approach

SWIM-360 integrates video analysis with real-time sensor data, to offer a more precise performance assessment. In addition, SWIM-360 will implement an explainable AI to provide a more transparent and clear justification for the injury prediction and training recommendations.
