PODIUM ANALYTICS

A COLLABORATION WITH THE PRESTIGIOUS PODIUM ANALYTICS INSTITUTE

PMY joined forces with Podium Analytics to create a new injury reporting platform and a robust cloud data lake to support national governing bodies, sports clubs, as well as the Podium Analytics Institute for Youth Sport Medicine and Technology at Oxford University.

As part of the collaboration, data collection was streamlined through a dedicated app that seamlessly integrated with other relevant study data. The overarching aim was to pioneer a ‘big data’ perspective on youth sports injuries over the next decade.

The journey was not without challenges, such as ensuring data accuracy, creating a user-friendly app, and establishing fruitful collaborations. Despite these hurdles, the result is a groundbreaking platform for comprehensive youth sports injury analysis. Diverse data sources and esteemed collaborations have yielded actionable insights that promise to revolutionise injury prevention and management. This ‘big data’ approach enhances our understanding of youth sports injuries, aiding informed decision-making and policy formulation.

In conclusion, the joint initiative exemplifies the transformative potential of data excellence in sports medicine. By leveraging data-driven insights and fostering collaborative partnerships, the project advances injury research and underscores the commitment to young athletes’ well-being. It stands as a testament to the vital role data plays in enhancing sports safety and performance.
