Core Functionality
- Lesson‑Ready Workout Templates: Pre‑built 5–10 minute exercises (e.g., bodyweight circuits) that teachers can add to lesson plans.
- Wearable Sync & Biofeedback: Connects to popular wearables (Apple Watch, Fitbit) to pull heart rate and activity data during class.
- Progress Dashboard: Displays student engagement metrics (time active, average HR) for the teacher’s review.
- Gamified Challenges: Class‑wide streaks and badges that motivate students to stay active.
- Analytics & Reporting: Export reports for school wellness programs or parent communication.
Problem It Solves
Many educators want to incorporate physical activity into lessons but lack the tools to do so safely, measurably, and engagingly. ClassFit provides a simple plug‑in that turns any wearable into an instant classroom fitness assistant, enabling teachers to monitor effort, ensure exercises are performed correctly, and celebrate progress—all without complex tech skills.
Technical Requirements
- Wearable APIs: Apple HealthKit / Fitbit Web API for data retrieval.
- Mobile Platform: iOS/Android app with cross‑platform framework (React Native).
- Cloud Backend: Firebase Firestore for real‑time sync and user management.
- Data Analytics: Simple serverless functions to aggregate activity stats.
Monetization Strategy
- Freemium Model: Basic templates and dashboard free; premium tier unlocks advanced analytics, custom branding, and a larger template library.
- School Licensing: Annual subscription per school with bulk discounts.
- In‑App Purchases: Optional badge packs or challenge themes.
Implementation Approach
- Prototype – Build core wearable sync using Apple HealthKit on iOS.
- Template Library – Create a set of 15 short workouts and publish as downloadable JSON.
- Dashboard UI – Design simple charts (time active, HR range) with React Native components.
- Backend Setup – Configure Firebase Auth for teacher accounts; Firestore collections for classes and student data.
- Gamification Engine – Implement streak logic on the client side with local persistence.
- Testing – Pilot in 3 classrooms, collect feedback, iterate UI.
- Launch – Publish to App Stores, market through educator forums.
Potential Challenges
- Wearable Data Privacy: Ensuring compliance with FERPA and COPPA. Solution: Store only aggregated metrics, not raw biometric data; obtain parental consent via app settings.
- Device Fragmentation: Different wearables have varying APIs. Solution: Start with Apple Watch & Fitbit; use abstraction layer for future devices.
Future Expansion
- Integrate voice coaching via smart speakers.
- Add AI‑guided form correction using camera input.
- Expand to multi‑sport modules (yoga, dance).
- Provide analytics dashboards for school wellness committees.
