A new, game-changing, IoT Bicycle-Games-Controller.

* ** 我自己：** 我是一个神经多样性，女性联合创始人的一个新的和创新的健康技术业务总部设在多塞特。最近，我在伦敦的一家人力资源技术创业公司领导了3个部门（产品/营销/参与），该公司由两位知名科技企业家共同创立，并由一级投资者资助。在此之前，我在20岁出头的时候在伦敦成立了一家软件和营销机构，并与我的商业伙伴成功地经营了7年。我从我父亲在津巴布韦的大型商业农场学到了商业知识。我喜欢公开演讲，并欢迎有机会成为其他神经多样性，女性创始人和像我这样的外籍人士的榜样。** 我的业务：**TurboGaming是一家健康科技公司，旨在解决有关儿童/青少年身体活动不足及其下游影响的惊人统计数据。在英国，超过一半的6- 16岁奥尔兹（55.4%）活动不足（SportsEngland，2021）。虽然三分之一的人离开小学时已经超重/肥胖（卫生和社会福利部）。在美国，只有23%的高中生足够活跃，而46%的人每天花3个多小时玩久坐不动的视频游戏。（疾病控制中心？2019年）。_**愿景：**_将PlayStation和Xbox上的100多个流行的主流赛车游戏转换为踏板健身游戏，从我们全新的、改变游戏规则的物联网“自行车游戏制造商”中进行游戏。在不到5年的时间里，在不开发任何新游戏的情况下，市场上可用的健身游戏数量增加了一倍以上。兼容的游戏包括迪士尼汽车，索尼克，风火轮，Wreckfest，极限竞速地平线，火箭联盟，F1等等。创始团队拥有33年的综合经验，选定的分包商专门从事以人为本的设计，拥有自行车相关设计专家。* ** 我的想法：** 把它想象成一个为儿童/青少年/青少年设计的自行车游戏。踏板功率等于游戏中的速度，使用两种专有算法之一;a.社会/包容性b.公平/竞技（支持电子竞技）手柄可旋转以控制方向，而手柄上的触发器和摇杆可让玩家刹车、射击或跳跃。测试概念验证原型时，孩子/青少年/青少年表现出了一致的热情，而家长们则为他们欢呼，就像运动日一样！我们有越来越多的beta测试者在等待单位。一个新的“Strava-meets-Twitch”应用程序将连接用户，游戏化参与（排行榜/徽章/奖杯），并举办体育电子竞技。该应用程序将提供适合年龄的“数字体育俱乐部”体验。奖励计划：**_除了指导，我还计划通过训练营和专家建议来加强我的知识和商业网络。我计划在商业化的项目后MVP发布之前完成beta单元的研发，以及beta测试后的MVP。

* **Myself:**I am the neurodiverse, female cofounder of a new and innovative HealthTech business based in Dorset. Most recently, I led 3 departments (product/marketing/engagement) at an HRTech-startup in London that was co-founded by two high-profile, serial tech-entrepreneurs and funded by tier-1 investors. Before that, I founded a software and marketing agency in London in my early twenties and ran it successfully for 7 years with my business partner. I learned about business from my father's large commercial farm in Zimbabwe. I love public-speaking and welcome the opportunity to be a role-model to other neurodiverse, female founders, and entrepreneurial-expats like myself.* **My business:**TurboGaming is a healthTech business that aims to tackle the alarming statistics regarding insufficient physical activity during childhood/adolescence, and the downstream effects thereof.In the UK, more than half of 6-16yr olds (55.4%) are insufficiently active (SportsEngland, 2021). Whilst 1-in-3 leave primary school already overweight/obese (Department of Health&Social Care).In the USA, only 23% of high school students are sufficiently active while 46% spend a whopping 3+ hours per day playing sedentary video games. (Centers for Disease Control?evention, 2019)._**The Vision:**_ Convert 100+ popular, mainstream racing-games on PlayStation and Xbox, into pedal-powered fitness-games, played from our new, game-changing, IoT 'bicycle-games-controller'. More than doubling the number of fitness-games available on the market in less than 5 years, without developing any new games.Compatible games include Disney Cars, Sonic, Hot Wheels, Wreckfest, Forza Horizon, Rocket League, F1 and many more.The founding team has 33 years of combined experience and the chosen subcontractor specialises in human-centred design with experts in bicycle related design.* **My idea:**Think of it as a **'bicycle-arcade'** for children/tweens/teens.Pedal-power equates to in-game speed utilising one of two proprietary algorithms;a. Social/Inclusiveb. Fair/Competitive (Enabling eSports)Handlebars rotate to steer whilst triggers and joysticks on the grips allow players to brake, shoot or jump.Testing a proof-of-concept prototype yielded unanimous enthusiasm from children/tweens/teens whilst parents cheered for them, like it was sports day! We have a growing waiting-list of beta-testers waiting for units.A new 'Strava-meets-Twitch' application will connect users, gamify participation (leaderboards/badges/trophies), and host athletic-eSports. The app will provide an age-appropriate, 'digital sports club' experience._**Award-plan:**_As well as mentoring, I plan to strengthen my knowledge and business network through the bootcamps and expert advice. I plan to complete the R&D for beta units, and the MVP following beta-testing, ahead of a commercialised post-project MVP-launch.
