Wearable technology has transformed how millions train worldwide today, from tracking heart rate and steps to monitoring sleep, distance, and workout intensity. Yet, despite billions using wearables, top performers still rely on lab tests and expert coaches. The reason is simple: most consumer metrics are based on population averages and generic zones, which often fail to capture meaningful physiological changes. As a result, trackers can miss the subtle signals that indicate improvement, overtraining, or the need for recovery — leaving athletes or people interested in their cardiovascular fitness to guess, with poor guesses risking stalled progress or injury.

Aerobic AI addresses this by turning everyday fitness trackers/wearable into medical-grade tools for guiding cardiovascular training. The scientifically validated algorithm reads real-time physiological signals and provides precise, personalized guidance, indicating exactly how hard to train on any given day. Built on real physiology — tested on Earth and in space — the method does not rely on generic zones. The Aerobic AI solution is currently undergoing the intellectual property and patenting process.  Initial clinical validation demonstrates that the algorithm matches gold-standard lab accuracy. With just a smartphone and a standard fitness tracker/wearable, users can access the same insights typically provided by labs, anytime, anywhere. Because it operates on everyday devices, even professional athletes can receive high-precision feedback weekly, rather than interpolating between costly and time-consuming lab visits.

Aerobic AI is envisioned to provide a clear view of an athlete’s current fitness level, daily training targets, and endurance progression over time. Expert-level guidance is planned to be available wherever training occurs — on the track, the bike, or the trail. Ongoing validation and refinement with professional athletes, coaches, and sports scientists across multiple disciplines aim to ensure that the system becomes reliable, simple to use, and suitable for everyday application. The solution is designed to help athletes train at their true optimal level, detect fatigue early, recover smarter, and achieve measurable progress day by day, with guidance based on individual physiology rather than averages, ultimately making peak performance safer, more efficient, and more attainable.

The team behind the solution combines profound expertise in space medicine and physiology from Charité with hands-on experience in the rehabilitation of professional athlete teams, ensuring both scientific rigor and real-world applicability.
