Pointing a camera at yourself while you exercise is a reasonable thing to be thoughtful about. Camera-based guidance has real benefits, but you should expect clear answers about privacy from any app that asks for camera access. Here are the questions worth asking, and how KineTrue answers them.
When does the camera turn on?
The answer should be: only when you start a session, only after your browser or device asks for permission, and never on a public marketing page. That's how KineTrue works. The landing site you're reading now doesn't request camera access at all, and guided sessions ask your browser for permission each time one begins.
What is actually analysed?
Camera-guided exercise doesn't need most of what a camera sees. KineTrue's feedback is computed from detected body landmarks, the positions of joints like shoulders, hips, and knees, which is what powers rep counting and form cues during your session.
Who can see the results?
In a therapist-connected product, the point is that your care team sees your progress: session results and pain reports are visible to the therapist directing your program. Care data sits behind your account sign-in; it isn't on the public site.
A checklist for any camera-based health app
- Permission is requested explicitly, through the platform's standard prompt, not buried in onboarding.
- The app explains what it analyses and what it retains, in language you can understand.
- You can tell who has access to your results.
- Marketing pages and account areas are clearly separated.
- There's a way to contact the team with privacy questions, and they answer.
