U.S. Army leverages big data for mobile injury prevention | MassDevice.com On Call

MassDevice On Call

MASSDEVICE ON CALL — The U.S. military piloted a new program to help prevent injuries in the field, modifying a technology developed by Move2Perform to calculate injury risk among athletes.

The program placed soldiers into a single day of physical training to generate data on potential injury risk that may identify which soldiers are most at risk for musculoskeletal injuries. The tests combine stores of data and can be conducted in non-clinical settings by non-medical personnel.

The Move2Perform program has already been clinically demonstrated among athletes, but more studies are underway to determine whether the program produces results among the military, MobiHealthNews reported.
