About Ayon Heimaheilsuþjálfunarkerfi

Ayon er heimaheilsukerfi sem veitir leiðsögn og þjálfun í líkamsrækt, næringu, svefni og daglegum venjum. Kerfið sameinar smáforrit stutt af gervigreind, snjallmæli sem borinn er á líkamanum og aðaltæki með myndavél. Aðaltækið er með álbotni sem er 85 sinnum 85 sinnum 20 millimetrar og hjúp úr möttu akrýli sem hýsir gleiðhornsmyndavél og ljósrönd. Sjónrænar leiðbeiningar og raddleiðbeiningar leiða æfingar, hugleiðslu og öndun. Hægt er að halla myndavélinni niður til að tryggja friðhelgi einkalífs. Einingaskiptur vélbúnaður gerir kleift að uppfæra tækið síðar án þess að skipta því út að fullu.

Production Technology
The Ayon core device was developed using a user-centered design methodology, integrating iterative prototyping with expert feedback from fitness coaches and AI engineers. Its housing employs durable, aluminium. Advanced computer vision and biometric algorithms were embedded to enable precise motion tracking, while modular hardware allows future upgrades without full device replacement.
Design Challenge
The hardest part was uniting advanced AI technology with a simple, trustworthy design, lagency-free. Creative challenges included balancing technical accuracy in motion tracking with an approachable aesthetic that fits into homes. Obstacles involved limited production options for compact, modular hardware, strict privacy laws, and ensuring affordability.
Research
The research was applied design research. The objective was to create an affordable, holistic health coach. Using user-centered design, methods included interviews, motion-capture tests, and prototyping. Data came from wearables, cameras, and surveys. Participants were health coaches, physiotherapists, and everyday users. Results showed demand for simplicity and trust. Insights shaped Ayon’s modular design. Impact: accessible health support for society and a strong business case.
Inspiration
Ayon was inspired by the personal challenge of accessing professional health support, which is often expensive and fragmented. Motivated by the need for a holistic, affordable solution, we combined research in AI, biomechanics, and digital coaching to create an inclusive system that integrates fitness, nutrition, sleep, and mindfulness into one accessible design.
Project Duration
The Ayon project began in zurich in january 2023 with the initial concept and research phase. Prototyping and user testing were conducted throughout 2024 in collaboration with international design and engineering partners. The first functional prototypes of the core device were completed in September 2025. Ayon is scheduled to be shipped in Q4 2026
Operation Flow
The Ayon core device is placed in front of the user and switches on automatically. The built-in camera and light strip guide the user through exercises, meditation, or breathwork with simple visual and voice cues. Tilting the camera down ensures privacy when not in use. By combining movement tracking, feedback, and mindfulness in one elegant object, it makes training more accurate, engaging, and sustainable than standard fitness devices.
