Growing Rate of Sports Injuries
12.56 Billion Sports Medicine Global TAM 2024 CAGR 6%
As sports injury rates climb due to higher intensity and earlier specialization training, common GPS-based tracking systems are falling short. They monitor the athlete as one object and can’t gather data directly from segments such as the knees, arms, and shoulders which account for more than 75% of sports injuries. That's where MoveWare steps in. With advanced joint, limb, and segment-level motion tracking, we provide data-driven solutions and predictive insights for performance improvements and injury prevention.
41%
Knee injuries account for 41% of all sports injuries (OrthoInfo).
12%
12% increase in sports injuries in 2022 (CPSC)
35%
35% of sports injuries involve the arm (7.5% shoulder, 2.4% elbow, 25% hand & wrist)
26%
Serious knee injuries grew by 26% among teen athletes between 2017-2022 (Aspen Institute)
Existing solutions lack the precision needed for joint, limb,
and segment-level insights.
GPS Trackers: Birdseye views are helpful but limited.
Gather speed, distance, and acceleration data and for counting jumps, breaks, etc.
See the athlete as a single object: don’t send joint, limb, and segment-specific data.
Primary insights: Performance changes over time, possible detection of over-training which can ultimately lead to injuries.
MoveWare™ offers new levels of visibility
This is data that changes the game
We collect the same data (speed, distance, acceleration) as the GPS-tracker systems AND we collect the joint, limb, and segment-specific data that leads to more precise insights including gait changes and issues with symmetry. We collect data such as range of motion, joint angulation, side-to-side symmetry, and more. Our AI can detect changes and potential issues faster with better granularity. Our solution is a better training/coaching tool, and an earlier warning system for injuries.
✓ Player Screening
✓ Performance Improvement
✓ Optimizing Return-to-Play
✓ Injury Prevention
✓ Predictive analytics
”Sports Performance coaches need objective insights on what specific joints are doing in actual sport activities, outside of laboratory constraints.”
“MoveWare sets a new standard in applied sport science, enabling practitioners to assess athlete movements with unprecedented detail, without the need for cameras or bulky equipment. Unlike GPS systems that offer only summary information, MoveWare provides direct insights into body mechanics with segment and joint level data.”
