How accurate is HyperPulse vs Catapult or STATSports?

Pre-launch — HyperPulse should be treated as a training-grade movement sensor until real-world validation is complete. We will publish sport-specific accuracy claims only after controlled field testing against accepted references.

Speed — validation pending

Catapult GPS at 10 Hz is the field-day gold standard. HyperPulse uses IMU dead-reckoning that drifts on open field, corrected with motion-signature pattern recognition. Speed and distance estimates from body-worn IMU data need field validation before we market exact accuracy ranges. GPS systems still win on absolute outdoor distance.

Jump height — validation pending

Both systems use IMU integration for jump height. The underlying physics is identical — IMU integration of vertical acceleration. HyperPulse can estimate jump events from IMU signals, but exact correlation claims must wait for validation testing.

Movement intensity — motion-derived

The current Feather-based sensor stack does not market live movement intensity or SpO2. Movement intensity is motion-derived, not an ECG or medical measurement.

Where Catapult wins

Absolute distance covered on open fields (GPS is more accurate over long distances). Continuous in-game positioning (we don't do this — privacy by design). Sport-science integration (Catapult is built for sport scientists, not high school coaches).

Where HyperPulse is designed to win

In-game designed for rule reviewity. Price (5× lower at retail). Form factor (sensor vs vest). Setup time (target: 30 seconds vs Catapult's multi-day onboarding). Multi-sport coverage from one device.
