The gait analyzer market is $1.83B within the broader $43B mHealth space growing at 15.2% CAGR. Apple's Project Mulberry (camera-based gait analysis) has been shelved, creating a 12-18 month first-mover window. Existing gait apps require expensive hardware sensors or focus solely on running form (Ochy). No consumer app offers camera-based walking gait analysis for health/balance assessment. Apple Health's Walking Steadiness uses motion sensors only — not visual analysis.

Every gait analysis solution is either sensor-based (expensive hardware), running-focused (Ochy), or clinical/enterprise (FlexiTrace). No consumer app uses the iPhone camera for walking gait health analysis. Apple Health only uses motion sensors. Apple's own gait camera feature (Project Mulberry) is shelved — leaving a 12-18 month window.

StrideSense has a clear 12-18 month first-mover window with Apple's Project Mulberry shelved. The gait analyzer market is $1.83B and the broader mHealth space is $43B. No consumer camera-based gait app exists — competitors are sensor-based, running-focused, or enterprise. The $6.99 one-time model is compelling vs Ochy's $60+ subscription. Technical feasibility is solid with Vision framework + CoreML. The risk is Apple eventually building this natively, but the window is real.
| Biggest Risk | Biggest Opportunity |
|---|---|
| Apple releases native camera gait analysis in iOS 27/28; narrow technical accuracy challenge | 12-18 month window; 50M+ adults 50+ care about mobility; no consumer camera gait app exists |
