Hydration accounts for a third of the work on Halo, in twelve entries covering protocols, validated beverages, wearable sweat patches and testing services. Around it sit supplements for endurance and recovery, biometric platforms, and the trial protocols used to judge whether any intervention works. On Halo it spans five groups, including hydration, supplements for endurance and recovery, and wearables and biometrics.
Stage of development. Work on fitness and performance monitoring on Halo comes mostly from university programs. 35% of the solutions are in market. University of Alabama, Birmingham and Kansas State University have the most, followed by Rice University. Co-development and licensing are the usual partnering routes, and about 39% of the solutions that state terms offer pilot engagements.
Three trends in fitness and performance monitoring on Halo
Twelve entries on drinking water properly. Protocols from four universities, validated beverage formulations from four more, a sweat patch, and a wearable personalizing intake through the day. Several exist only to test whether a hydration product does what it says. Electrolyte drinks are a large consumer category with thin evidence, and this is what filling that gap looks like.
The protocol is the product. Six entries sell a way of measuring, not a thing to consume: a unified trial protocol covering power, endurance and cognition, precision monitoring of an intervention, a heat acclimation protocol, comprehensive athletic development assessment. Sports nutrition claims are contested, and a credible protocol is worth as much as a formulation.
Sensing moved into the clothing and the floor. An autonomic module built into apparel, an internet-connected insole reading plantar pressure and gait, a three-axis pneumatic board measuring postural control, and saliva biomarkers read electrochemically. The wrist is crowded and already commodity, so the measurements that are left are the ones that need contact somewhere else.
