Optimizing Performance One Sip at a Time
For triathletes dissatisfied with one-size-fits-all performance drinks, due to a lack of customization for their genetics and goals, Revive Technologies offers a Genetic Based Supplement Dispenser that can equip athletes with knowledge of their genetic needs, maintain health during training periods, and empower them to hit personal performance goals.
Our product will make genetic information accessible to empower personalized health decisions. The power of understanding your genetics can impact athletic performance, weight control, disease protection, and more.
Our team will rework an abandoned patent with the hopes of combining mature knowledge with modern technology accessible to us. We are a team of four mechanical engineers and one electrical engineer. Overseeing the team is both our faculty advisor and Patent Inventor, Dr. Fredric Abramson.
Alex Fiori is a 27 year old Ironman Triathlete who completed his first Half Ironman last year in Atlantic City, NJ. He completed his swim in 37 minutes, finishing 28th in his age range at this point in the race. A short 2 hours and 30 minutes later, he completed his bike over 50 miles, averaging 23 mph and moving up to 26th in his age category.
Moving onto his run shortly after, he completed his first mile within 7 minutes and 30 seconds, but began to feel dragged down by muscle cramps. His right leg tightened up, leaving him with limited mobility and slowing down his next mile to a mere ten minutes. Then went his other leg, nearly every muscle limiting his ability to run and slowing his pace down to 17 minutes. Alex had to take it slow for the first time within his 5 and a half hour race, and although he finished the race, he did not achieve his desired time for the Half Marathon because he was limited by his body's inability to retain the proper nutrients he needed to continue.
The biggest takeaway is that the body needs fuel to push past its normal limits. Without the proper supplements, the body is unable to perform at its highest level, making it hard for athletes such as Alex to obtain their desired results.
Revive Technologies aims to allow people like Alex to power through their toughest performances and achieve their desired times, without having to worry about fatigue during training sessions and competitions.
Our solution is a supplement dispenser and companion website. The dispensing device is purchased or shipped with an at-home genetics test. The customer will take the genetics test and send it to the lab. Each customer’s profile is unique with their genetic test results and their athletic goals, whether that be training for a competition or losing weight. When the customer wants a sports drink, all they must do is place their water bottle on the dispenser and press dispense. The software will analyze their profile and dispense a customized combination of dissolvable supplement tablets.
