__The Misson

Elite endurance athletes have trained at altitude for decades to build oxygen-carrying capacity.

However, access to altitude camps is expensive and reserved for funded professionals. Scotlab wanted to open this door for committed amateurs with a portable, affordable device.

Opening the door to elite training benefits from the comfort of a standard living room.

__ The Insight

The science was never in doubt, but the barrier was practical.

Institutional systems were large and costly, assuming professional supervision. Amateur athletes training around families and tight budgets needed a tool they could trust and set up at home.

If altitude simulation requires a clinic, it stays out of reach. It had to be as simple as it was effective.

__ The Filament Effect

Filament moved the i10 from proof of concept to a market-ready product in just eighteen months.

We developed a compact, self-contained unit shaped around domestic use rather than laboratory conditions. Disciplined decision-making ensured the accelerated timeline did not sacrifice robustness.

Pro-level performance in a domestic form factor. Disciplined engineering delivered on an accelerated timeline.

__ The Outcome

Physiological gains delivered from your own sofa.

The Altium i10 gave Scotlab a distinctive position in a market previously defined by institutional equipment and elite pricing. For the first time, amateur athletes could access physiological benefits previously reserved for the elite.

Elite training benefits, democratised.
