On-field monitoring for team-sport athletes
Academic work on monitoring athletes in real playing conditions — using GPS, optical tracking and wearables to quantify running load, intensity and fatigue — supports the case for objective, in-context performance data over isolated lab snapshots.
How it informs PlayerDNA: we measure athletes where they actually play. Camera-first capture estimates movement and load in context, then hardware confirms it.
MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference
Global leadership in sports analytics
The world's leading forum for sports analytics, where clubs, researchers and technologists advance how data drives recruitment, performance and on-field decision-making — helping define the discipline of modern sports data.
How it informs PlayerDNA: we turn raw video and sensor data into decision-ready analytics — position fit, development plans and risk flags — in the spirit this field has established.
Harvard
Digital innovation & sports health
Work spanning digital innovation and sports-health connects technology, physiology and athlete well-being — reinforcing that performance data must respect health, growth and long-term development, not just output.
How it informs PlayerDNA: performance scores sit alongside injury-risk screening and a dedicated youth-development pathway — health first.
FIFA
Official technology & injury-prevention programmes
Football's global governing direction emphasises technology in the game and evidence-based injury-prevention programmes such as FIFA 11+ — setting the standard the sport is moving toward worldwide.
How it informs PlayerDNA: camera-first accessibility plus injury-risk screening rooted in established prevention principles — aligned with football's global direction.
