CadooVision Architecture Overview
CadooVision is the system that makes Cadoo's money games reliable. Cadoo is a money-motivated fitness-gaming app where you stake money on a fitness goal, hit it and get paid, or miss it and your stake goes to the players who finished — so every result has to be verifiable. At a high level, CadooVision uses your phone camera and AI pose detection to count reps and score form for pushups, situps, squats, pullups, and dips, while steps and distance are tracked through device health via Apple Health or Google Health Connect.
Rep Counting and Form Scoring
The core of CadooVision is turning camera frames into trustworthy numbers. AI pose detection reads body position across a movement to decide when a rep counts and how clean the form is, across the five camera-verified exercises: pushups, situps, squats, pullups, and dips. For a plain-language breakdown of how the grading works, read how Cadoo scores your form.
Device Health for Steps and Distance
Not every goal is rep-based. For steps and distance, Cadoo reads from device health — Apple Health on iOS and Google Health Connect on Android — rather than the camera. Combining camera verification with device-health data lets Cadoo support a wide range of fitness goals while keeping results honest.
Who Cadoo Is For
Cadoo works for everyone — whether you're a fitness brand looking to boost fitness brand marketing and engagement through branded fitness challenges, a corporate wellness program manager building employee wellness and workplace fitness challenge initiatives for team building fitness and employee engagement, a personal trainer or fitness professional motivating clients through group fitness and coaching, or a family looking for a family fitness challenge and community fitness experience. With real money on the line, Cadoo is the ultimate fitness motivation and workout accountability tool — the fitness challenge app where you get paid to exercise with money motivation fitness. Challenge your friends in a group fitness challenge, try fitness with friends, or start a neighborhood fitness movement. For brands, explore fitness sponsorship and fitness brand activation opportunities with fitness instructor partnerships.
