Children today spend an average of 6 hours a day on screens. While this can have some positive effects, it largely hinders their physical development.
Many children now struggle with basic motor skills such as hopping, skipping, catching, kicking, or even running properly, leading to decreased confidence and participation in physical activities. MoveAhead offers a groundbreaking solution by leveraging the technology kids already use, from dancing on TikTok to streaming sports and tracking steps.
Our innovative platform integrates physical development into their digital world, helping children build essential movement skills while providing valuable insights into their performance. MoveAhead transforms passive screen time into an active, enriching experience.
Utilising 15 years of scientific research and the largest data repository in the world of children's movement performance, MoveAhead's advanced computer vision software is the first of its kind built specifically for children, born on the unique proprietary dataset of >400k children from the largest studies on children's movement.

Why we need to MoveAhead..
Screentime: Children average 6 hours of screentime daily. This can have positive impact but largely negative impact on physical development
​
Poor Skills: The majority of children can no longer hop, skip, catch, kick or even run properly. This means they struggle to achieve success in physically active tasks, and ‘drop out’ or avoid participation
​
The Potential: Technology is used to dance on tik-tok, stream sporting events and count steps..
..MoveAhead ‘meets children where they are’ to bring physical development and insights on movement performance into their increasingly digital lives
Our team
MoveAhead’s team has over 50 years of academic & research experience in kids’ motor skill acquisition, motion analysis and Machine Learning. We have published over 200 peer reviewed scientific papers covering motor skill acquisition and physical literacy in youth (diverse populations) as well as on topics related to design and development of motion analysis tools to support kids’ motor development. Our machine learning expertise spans signal processing, gesture recognition, deep learning, biomechanics and multi-modal processing. We also recognise the profound importance of motion analysis in relation to children's data privacy and boast extensive knowledge and experience in navigating data and AI regulations.
