What is Danu?
DANU, founded by Oisín Lennon, is a disruptive company that is breaking down the boundaries of unnatural lab-based analysis. By introducing the DANU analysis system to the sports and medical industries, DANU hopes to revolutionise gait, plyometric and balance analysis, effectively bridging the gap between unnatural lab assessments and inaccurate wearable technology.

What is the Danu analysis System?

How does DANU Help perform, prevent and progress?
The DANU system allows for increased athletic performance, prevention of injuries, and support during rehabilitation by providing real-time feedback on gait, foot strike, balance and more.
It allows coaches or medical professionals to detect imbalances, monitor pressure points, and identify signs of fatigue, enabling them to adjust the athlete or patient's activity to avoid overuse injuries or optimise technique. During rehab, it tracks progress and ensures proper load management.

How Durable are the socks?
Created with durability in mind, the DANU socks combine high-quality materials and a strict quality-control process. The socks use reinforced stitching and abrasion-resistant fibres proven to be resilient to wear and tear. The embedded sensors are seamlessly integrated with the fabric, ensuring that they remain fully functional after repeated washes and intense physical activity.
We are confident in the longevity, reliability and durability of the socks and we will happily replace any units which have any issues.

Can the Socks be washed?
Yes, the DANU smart socks can be machine washed at 30°, on a low speed, short wash cycle. Try to avoid excess use of detergents when washing and allow the socks to fully dry before using them again to ensure the sensors are accurate.
The socks are not suitable to use in a dryer as the heat can damage the sensors.

Can I Connect the pods before putting them into the socks?
No, it is vital the IMU pod is inserted into the receptacle on the sides of the socks before it is turned on, otherwise it will not be able to capture data from the socks.

How many Athletes can I connect at once?
During standard online-mode operation—where recorded data gets instantly uploaded to the DANU system—only one sock user can be recording an activity at a time.
When using memory-mode there is no limit on how many sock users can be recording an activity at the same time.
There is no limit on how many athletes can be connected and calibrated at once.

How Do I Calibrate The Socks?
To calibrate an athlete, follow the instructions on screen in the DANU iOS Application, or view the DANU user manual (situated at the top of this page) for more information. During the final step of calibration, the user will need to hold their feet in the air for approximately three seconds.
Calibration must be carried out each time you reset the connection to a user's socks.
