Working on EnduCloud puts me in conversation with a wide range of people: athletes, coaches, physiotherapists, physicians, sport scientists. What has started to stand out is who is never in those conversations.
Two groups are silent. Healthy sedentary adults, who aren't in the room because lack of exercise and its impact on their body is not yet a problem they feel. And less-healthy sedentary adults, who are in the room only by proxy, represented by a clinician describing them through a professional lens.
These are exactly the people with the most to gain from simply becoming more active. The first group is busy with the rest of life, sheltered under an umbrella of not knowing what two or three decades of inactivity are doing on the inside, until the symptoms arrive in their 40s and 50s. The second is stuck because the system holds itself to a standard of care it cannot deliver at scale - time, cost, expertise, level of supervision - and when it cannot meet that standard, it does nothing. Nothing is the most expensive option on the table.
What we are building is the middle: individualised, progressive guidance that starts where the person actually is, adapts to what their body reports back day by day, and gives the professional around them visibility without demanding an hour per patient per week. Not a replacement for a clinician or a coach. A way for one of them to carry a caseload instead of a handful.
In practice that means plans that begin at walking and need nothing more than shoes and a phone. Targets expressed in something the person can feel, rather than a number they need a lab to interpret. And a system that reads sleep, resting heart rate and reported symptoms and adjusts, so that "safely" is a property of the plan rather than a warning printed underneath it.
We are still early. This is a pilot with real users, not a finished product. But the gap here is not a technology gap. It is a supervision-capacity gap, and that one is solvable.
