Platforms

Platforms cover where the software of movement technology actually runs, and the trade offs each environment imposes. Code lives on phones and watches, in the web and the cloud, on tiny embedded chips, and across the infrastructure that keeps it all running. Where computation happens shapes privacy, latency, reliability, and what is possible at all. Material here is descriptive and informational rather than a deployment guide. Use the sections to understand the runtime environments and their constraints, then visit a technology profile for specifics.

Platforms

Mobile & Wearable OS

The operating systems on phones and watches that host apps, broker sensor access, and govern background activity and battery. The environment closest to the body, where permission models and power rules shape what an app can do.

Platforms

Web & Cloud

Servers and browsers that store long histories, run heavier analysis, and present dashboards. The tier that unlocks scale and powerful models at the cost of latency and a dependency on the network.

Platforms

On-Device & Embedded

The constrained runtimes inside sensors and wearables themselves, where firmware and tiny models must fit kilobytes of memory and a sip of power. Where privacy and reliability are strongest and the budget is tightest.

Platforms

Infrastructure & Ops

The systems that keep everything running: deployment, monitoring, security, and the handling of failure across a fleet of devices and services. The quiet operational layer that decides whether a system stays trustworthy over time.
