The problem:
Sports injuries are one of the most common barriers athletes face. From sprained ankles to ligament tears, injuries cut seasons short, hurt performance, and often discourage players from continuing. While professional athletes have access to physiotherapists and advanced monitoring, most student-athletes, community players, and fitness enthusiasts lack these resources. Current apps only track basic metrics like steps or calories and fail to provide predictive analysis or personalized guidance. As a result, many preventable injuries still sideline athletes for weeks or months.

The solution:
I propose an AI-powered Sports Injury Prevention & Recovery Platform. Using wearable devices such as smartwatches, insoles, or motion sensors, athletes can collect data on stride length, joint angles, ground impact, and fatigue indicators like heart rate variability. Machine learning models would analyze these inputs to identify risk patterns and generate injury risk scores. The system could alert athletes when they are overtraining, detect poor form, and suggest corrective exercises. For recovery, the platform would create adaptive physiotherapy routines, track adherence, and adjust recommendations as healing progresses.

Who benefits:

Athletes: Safer training and faster recovery.

Coaches and schools: Tools to monitor players’ health.

Hospitals and physiotherapists: Remote support for patients.

Why this matters to me:
I’ve seen athletes lose confidence and opportunities due to preventable injuries. A solution like this can help keep more people healthy and active in sports.

Technical details:
The platform would use AI models for fatigue detection, posture analysis, and adaptive recovery. Data would be securely stored in the cloud, anonymized for team insights, and integrated with existing wearables and hospital apps.
