PitchPulse
Camera-free player intelligence for football
Every player wears a Wahoo-class chest strap under the jersey. Six buffered anchors mesh the pitch. Continuous ball. Biometrics. Analytics that make players better, coaches sharper, and optional match-day advisory — without cameras.
Heart. Motion. Position. Ball.
Every chest strap streams biometrics and performance — ECG and heart rate, HRV, speed and max speed, distance and high-intensity distance, sprints, accelerations, player load, ball touches and involvement — while the mesh tracks torso and continuous ball. Personal truth after the match. Club insight when you want it.
Athlete App
After the match, your data only
Athletes pull a personal analytics package to their phone in a short burst. Sensor hardware crypto ID is the access key. Five-minute cooldown. No squad view. No kit control commands.
- Layer 1 offline metrics on device; Layer 2 personal package when cloud is ready
- Distance, speed, sprints, load, HR, heat map, involvement — scoped to that sensor
- Same phone can host Athlete App and Kit Control as separate apps; ACLs stay isolated
Kit Control
Venue ops — separate from Athlete App
The app that turns the system on, arms the match, and shows whether the mesh is healthy. Built as its own product surface so control credentials never mix with athlete personal data.
Session lifecycle
OFF → SETUP → ARMED → LIVE ⇄ PAUSED → period breaks → END. Power, pause, resume, restart — operator controlled.
Health from the mesh
Anchor online count, survey/geometry, dual-ball alert, buffer free space. Can-start gates are explicit.
Composition (optional paths)
PP-I410 referee watch and live computer (C310) toggles. Both default off. I410 only when a referee is in the game and wants the capability. Never blocks arm.
Torso measure (optional)
G220 + nearest anchor + chest strap for Law 11 leading-edge depth. Skip anyone — average body defaults apply. Never required to arm.
Buffered field anchor
Dual RX, 16-patch squinted array (mechanical ±27° facets). Dual-channel UWB Ch5 + Ch9 heard at once. ≥ 16 GB match buffer — live when connected, complete after the match. Antenna gain is predicted pending first article.
- Envelope
- 230 × 150 × 66 mm · IP67 · ≤ 1.35 kg
- Placement
- Six per full pitch — corners A1 A3 A4 A6 at 2.3 m ± 0.3 m on the 45° bisector; mids A2 A5 at 5–10 ft off the touch at halfway. Phase centre 2.5 m. The hull is not the pitch boundary; the frame comes from the PP-G220 survey.
The rest of the kit.
Same treatment as the field anchor — product truth on a quiet floor.
What a pilot includes.
Not general availability. A defined kit, a setup sequence, and clear boundaries on what the system measures versus what it never decides.
Canonical kit
Optional
Sequence
- 01Survey walk — strong corner pins with G220 + nearest anchor
- 02Kit Control — power on, composition, optional torso measure (or average body)
- 03Arm → start match — recording on buffered anchors
- 04Live when connected — progressive fill for Coach Portal; integrity fail-closed on live advisory
- 05End match — buffer complete; Athlete App personal burst to athlete phones
Boundaries
- Measures position, biometrics, ball events, and optional advisory geometry
- Does not auto-call fouls, cards, or binding offside
- Athlete App never mixes control commands; Kit Control never shows squad personal packages
Built for football first. Ready for more.
Same physics core — UWB position, biometrics, and ball intelligence — expands beyond the pitch. Basketball floors. Gridiron fields. One stack, new sports.
- Basketball — court-scale mesh, load, and possession without cameras.
- American football — GPS-denied indoor practice, route tracking, contact load.
- Future sports — any arena where cameras fail and continuous athlete truth wins.
