Footwear & Turf Testing

Biocore's cutting-edge technology uses machine learning and computer vision to provide data-driven insights that not only increase athlete safety in professional sports but also help optimize performance. Our approach combines historical injury data with training load data to create predictive machine learning algorithms for injury risk. By analyzing and interpreting this data, we can identify patterns and trends that allow coaches and trainers to pinpoint potential problem areas and address them proactively, before an injury occurs.
