The Podium Institute for Sports Medicine and Technology Information Session
The Podium Institute for Sports Medicine and Technology
About
The Podium Institute for Sports Medicine and Technology at the University of Oxford represents an ambitious long-term partnership and the coming together of leaders across sport, science, academia, technology, and business to spearhead a new approach to the issue of sports-related injury in young people. Together with world-leading academics, the institute will address an under-researched and often overlooked issue in sport, driving pioneering research and science in youth sports health and working to provide a holistic understanding of the individual factors that lead to injury in youth sports. Its purpose is to inspire and forge evidence-based changes in sport and physical education, and to develop innovative technologies to monitor, analyse and ultimately prevent injury in sport. Drawing on truly multi-disciplinary expertise, through the blending of Biomedical Engineering, Orthopaedic and Trauma Medicine, Psychology, Clinical Neurosciences, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Analytics, the initial work of the institute will focus on traumatic injuries such as concussion and serious musculoskeletal injuries as well as sudden cardiac death and the psychological factors that lead to injury
