- Privacy-First: No cameras required - uses WiFi signals for pose detection
- Real-Time Processing: Sub-50ms latency with 30 FPS pose estimation
- Multi-Person Tracking: Simultaneous tracking of up to 10 individuals
- Domain-Specific Optimization: Healthcare, fitness, smart home, and security applications
- Enterprise-Ready: Production-grade API with authentication, rate limiting, and monitoring
- Hardware Agnostic: Works with standard WiFi routers and access points
- Comprehensive Analytics: Fall detection, activity recognition, and occupancy monitoring
- WebSocket Streaming: Real-time pose data streaming for live applications
- 100% Test Coverage: Thoroughly tested with comprehensive test suite
