Now in its third year, ukactive’s ActiveLab is the only accelerator programme in the world designed to support fit-tech startups aiming to transform public health by engaging more people in physical activity and sport

The Shapewatch 3D body visualisation system joined a nine-strong line-up for the judging of the 2019 ActiveLab award in Manchester recently.

Shapewatch offers both static body measurement and dynamic movement assessment in a short, non-invasive, 3D experience that enables health club members to see themselves evolve as they exercise.

Fighting off competition from 70 applicants across 14 countries and six continents to secure a place on the global accelerator programme, Shapewatch has been supported by ActiveLab through a 12-week intensive programme of workshops, networking and insight, including mentoring from the private sector and experts sharing their experience of scaling tech start-ups internationally.

New Solutions
Outgoing ukactive CEO Steven Ward said: “To overturn the growing physical inactivity crisis facing our world, we need real, innovative solutions. Shapewatch is one of the pioneering startups that will revolutionise the way we move and help us build physical activity into our lives.”

Shapewatch sales director, Alan Louden, said: “With its dynamic movement assessment, Shapewatch offers valuable applications for prehabilitation, rehabilitation, wellness and performance. By reimagining what we can learn from our health, fitness and leisure activities, we can improve the quality of our lives.

“We’re honoured to have been part of this year’s ActiveLab and to be among the finalists is a tribute to our technology. The process has been a fantastic stepping stone for Shapewatch, providing us with brand visibility, market awareness and access to industry experts which will enable us to take our product to the next level.”

Shapewatch is now looking to work with both operators and other complementary fit-tech providers in the UK to collaborate and explore the opportunities that this technology presents to the health and wellness market.
