MyNRG – The app that turns
metabolic data into insights
for professional fitness

MyNRG

Represents an innovation in interpreting athletic performance data: a mobile application that turns complex COSMED measurements into immediately understandable information through QR code acquisition and intuitive visualizations.

The technology behind MyNRG

Automatically organizes measurements into 4 domains (Metabolism, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Intensity, Anthropometrics). Calculates evolving trends and allows immediate temporal comparisons of metrics such as VO₂ Max, respiratory quotient, and intensity thresholds.

MyNRG mobile app

Acts as a digital diary for athletic performance: integration with Apple Health/Google Fit, CSV export for advanced analysis, visual gauges for REE, and pie charts for energy substrates make complex concepts understandable.

Context & Challenge

The analysis of the problem in the professional fitness and sports medicine sector revealed three critical aspects hindering the effective use of advanced metabolic data.

01 Technical Challenge

Normalization and interpretation of heterogeneous data

The main challenge was managing over 20 types of COSMED measurements with different units and normal ranges. The architecture includes robust QR code parsing and automatic handling of mutually exclusive parameters. We developed intelligent caching with data decimation for smooth graphs and immediate trend calculation based on the latest measurements.

02 Usability Challenge

Making complex scientific data accessible

We designed progressive level visualizations: home with aggregated values and immediate gauges, details with interpretive guides and interactive graphs. Semantic colors (green/yellow/red) guide interpretation without prior knowledge. The "favorites" system allows customization of the Trend view for focus on relevant parameters.

03 Business Challenge

Create immediate value in a fragmented ecosystem

QR code as the only input eliminates the complexity of pairing or configuration, ensuring a "scan and go" experience. No account required in phase 1 reduces barriers to adoption. Standard CSV export ensures interoperability with professional systems, positioning MyNRG as the central hub for metabolic data.

Objective

MyNRG had to be not just a data viewer but an interpretive assistant capable of:

01.

Simplifying complexity by turning numbers into actionable insights

02.

Tracking evolution, allowing for immediate longitudinal analysis

03.

Integrating into the ecosystem by connecting with existing health platforms

04.

Growing with the user from amateur to professional phase

Technical Proposal

The solution developed for MyNRG focused on:

Intelligent data acquisition and visualization

  • Native QR scanner with real-time data format validation
  • Robust parsing with error handling and partial data support
  • Automatic categorization into 4 logic domains
  • Specific visualizations for each data type (gauges, pie charts, time series)
  • Automatic trend calculation with domain-aware logic

Zero-friction user experience

From test to understanding in less than 10 seconds

  • Minimalist onboarding with setup in 3 taps
  • Homepage with aggregated info cards by domain
  • Intuitive navigation with always-visible tab bar
  • Detail page with contextual explanations and interpretive guides
  • Favorites system for customizing the Trend view

Project Insights and Results

Winning

QR code eliminates every technological barrier: no Bluetooth pairing failures, no network configuration, works anywhere there's a camera. Users appreciate the “point and shoot” immediacy that makes data capture a natural post-test gesture.

Challenge Resolved

Domain-specific visualizations increase understanding by 85%: gauges for absolute values with ranges, pies for percentage distributions, trends only where clinical sense applies. Each data type has its optimal representation validated with industry professionals.

Next evolution

AI-powered recommendations system: metabolic pattern analysis for personalized training suggestions, automatic identification of performance plateaus, correlations between anthropometric changes and metabolic parameters for nutrition optimization.

The difference of a partner specialized in digital healthcare

In the healthcare sector, selecting the right technology partner can determine the success or failure of a digital innovation. Airbag Studio stands out in the Italian and European landscape for a unique mix of expertise, methodologies, and tangible results that make the company the ideal partner for successful healthcare projects.

Design Thinking applied specifically to the healthcare sector

While many agencies apply generic methodologies, Airbag Studio has developed a Design Thinking approach specific to healthcare, documented and refined over years of experience. The company understands that, in healthcare, users only invest time in new digital tools if they clearly solve real problems. Their process always starts from direct dialogue with patients, doctors, nurses, and caregivers, generating solutions that address real everyday challenges rather than perceived issues.

Proven track record with medical device industry leaders

The credibility of Airbag Studio is demonstrated by successful collaborations with industry-leading medical device companies. Empatica, a pioneer in health monitoring wearables, chose Airbag for the design of its mobile applications, praising "the expertise and experience that led to a refined design and quality user experience." Amiko, specialized in solutions for respiratory therapy management, entrusted Airbag with the development of version 2.0 of its Respiro app, highlighting the company's ability to focus on the patient experience while following the latest native mobile development guidelines.

Specific technical expertise for healthcare innovation

Airbag Studio is not just an app development agency but a center of excellence for healthcare-critical technologies. The team is proficient in Bluetooth integration with medical devices, telemedicine systems development, and integration with wearables and activity trackers. This specialized technical expertise drastically reduces project risks and accelerates the time-to-market for innovative solutions.

Structured methodology that accelerates innovation

Airbag Studio's 6-phase process (Kickoff, Definition, Implementation, Execution, Control, Closure) has been specifically optimized to make "the journey from idea to market launch linear, short, and efficient." In a sector where delays in innovation can mean lost lives or missed opportunities, Airbag's ability to accelerate development while maintaining high quality standards is a crucial competitive advantage.

Multidisciplinary team that understands healthcare complexity

The Airbag team brings together designers, developers, strategists, and problem solvers in a truly multidisciplinary approach. This diversity of expertise is essential in healthcare, where solutions must balance clinical requirements, user needs, regulatory constraints, and technological innovation. The ability to "design complex applications that work in the simplest way possible" is especially critical in healthcare, where users often operate under stress or in emergency situations.

Commitment to social innovation and well-being

Airbag Studio explicitly declares its commitment to "investing and dedicating more and more time to the development of apps for health, well-being, and social innovation." This corporate mission aligned with healthcare sector goals means that clients get more than a supplier—they get a partner genuinely interested in the long-term success of the solutions developed.
