MyO is a groundbreaking sports wearable suite designed for later Gen Y and Gen Z fitness and sports enthusiasts and athletes seeking advanced muscle performance insights. This innovative system leverages cutting-edge electromyography (EMG) technology within a modular sports wearable design to enhance workouts, improve athletic performance, and aid recovery. The suite includes a waist belt, leg strap, shoulder strap, and a charging dock, offering real-time feedback on muscle engagement, activation, and fatigue levels tailored to sports-specific needs.

The "soft geometric" aesthetic of MyO reflects modern sports trends, blending minimalism with functionality to deliver an approachable and visually calming design. Developed from comprehensive research into sports markets and user behavior, MyO ensures ergonomic comfort and durability for athletes during intense training and rehabilitation. High-quality materials such as medical-grade silicone and hypoallergenic fabrics enhance the user experience while supporting environmental sustainability.

MyO excels in modularity, allowing users to configure devices based on specific sports activities and training objectives. This adaptability extends product longevity and reduces waste, aligning with sustainable sports practices. Its companion app translates EMG data into actionable insights, empowering users to optimize their movements, enhance sports performance, and reduce the risk of injury in real-time.

Distinct from traditional fitness trackers, MyO focuses on delivering muscle-specific feedback that addresses the unique demands of sports enthusiasts and athletes. This innovation positions MyO as a leader in the sports wearable category, catering to muscle sculptors, rehabilitation patients, and performance-driven athletes.

MyO also embodies a commitment to social and environmental sustainability. It promotes safe and effective sports training while utilizing recyclable materials. By combining technological precision, user-centric design, and a dedication to modern sports culture, MyO sets a new standard for sports wearables, offering athletes an unparalleled, personalized, and engaging experience.
