Olli Tikkanen - Insights from the Physical Activity Researcher Podcast

Olli Tikkanen is the host of the Physical Activity Researcher podcast, where he speaks to experts in physical activity, exercise, and health to find out about the latest research findings. Besides that, he is the co-founder of Fibion, which offers a physical activity analysis product targeted to health & fitness professionals.

Olli is the 4th guest in our 2nd series of episodes, during which we interview other podcast hosts in the sports science, tech, and innovation area, in order to get their insights on the sports tech industry & the role of research and innovation within it.

In this episode, Olli & Kristof first talk about which research is still missing. Then, Olli talks about the difficulties of creating a business, something that many researchers often underestimate. He continues to talk about the importance of having some start-up experience in order to have realistic expectations and he also stresses the importance of informal meetups. Next, Olli & Kristof talk about ways to combine research & industry to come up with the right solutions. Finally, the implementation and adoption side of tech are discussed as well. Olli makes clear how important it is to understand the customer well and to know how the technology will work precisely in the client’s daily work or life.

Enjoy this episode!

P.S.: We spoke with Olli Tikkanen before about Fibion, on our Sports Tech Research blog.
