Springbok Analytics

Muscle asymmetry is a critical factor in movement efficiency and injury risk. When the imbalance between the left and right sides surpasses acceptable thresholds, performance and function can decline. With the importance of muscle health very much at the forefront of healthcare right now, muscular asymmetry is also having a moment (as evidenced by recent coverage in the The New York Times and ESPN). Our analysis takes it one step further, identifying issues at the individual muscle level. Why does this matter? From our Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Silvia Blemker: "Since there are multiple muscles that cross each joint, there are many ways for people to compensate for one asymmetry by creating another asymmetry.? These compensations can create imbalances that influence performance and health.?We have built the only way to detect these issues from a rapid MRI." Left-right muscle asymmetry analysis is a core component of every single Springbok scan. We deliver precise interlimb imbalance measurements with intuitive color-coded mapping to highlight asymmetries against expected norms (see below for more).

On a recent Sportsmith podcast, Emidio Pacecca (AC Milan, formerly with the New England Patriots) discussed getting more buy-in from one of his athletes after they saw their Springbok scan and individual muscle visualization. "He bought in. All of a sudden, he saw this picture of his scan with all these colors. The bell diagrams and scatter plots I was showing him weren't sinking in, but this visual with color really got him to buy in. He started working out in the weight room, started doing all his rehab and became one of the most diligent athletes."

We are redefining how elite sports teams approach muscle health. Last month, we launched our first sport-specific, elite athlete database with Springbok scans from over 100 National Basketball Association (NBA) players. We are thrilled to soon be releasing athlete-specific database across additional sports and both male and female athletes. Thanks again to Joe Lemire and Sports Business Journal for the share, and Barnett Frank from the Utah Jazz sharing why this matters to the leading practitioners in the field.

We are thrilled to announce our latest pro sports partnership with the New Jersey Devils (Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment | National Hockey League (NHL)). The Devils are one of our early NHL partners and join the many other forward-thinking sporting orgs that are adopting our muscle analysis technology to better inform and personalize training, injury rehabilitation, and overall performance programming. Looking forward to working with you Dr. Chris Stackpole, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, CSCS. #NJDevils #MuscleHealth #SpringbokAnalytics

There's a reason that individual muscle size is one of the key metrics that is provided with each and every Springbok scan. Muscle size plays a significant role in overall health due to its influence on various physiological functions, metabolic health, physical performance, and disease prevention. Our AI-driven technology accurately quantifies muscle size, symmetry and intramuscular fat infiltration from over 100 individual muscles across the legs, core, back chest, shoulder and arms, providing a holistic, personalized view of muscle health. All from a rapid, non-invasive MRI.

We are excited to be attending (Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2024 in a few weeks (December 1-4 at the McCormick Center in Chicago). This year's event is like many these days - focused on the role that AI can play, and is playing, to improve the field of radiology. We're eager to share our latest research around comprehensive, full body muscle health analytics from a rapid MRI scan, as well as our recent?FDA 510(k) Clearance For MuscleView.? Let us know if you'll be attending and want to set up a meeting.

Earlier this fall, our COO Savannah Benusa was hosted by TitletownTech up in Green Bay for a weekend of sports, networking, and connecting with their other portfolio companies. ? The entire TitletownTech team have been incredible partners for us since the very early days, and we learned so much from meeting with other founders, companies and technologies that they support. ? Packers Hall of Famer Leroy Butler kicked things off with an inspiring talk and a warm welcome, and the weekend was capped off with a Packers game at the iconic Lambeau Field (there are some perks to working in sports).
