Zone7 is a proprietary AI solution that works with sports organisations to forecast injury risk and help athletes attain peak performance. The platform harmonises disparate datasets, analyses them to uncover significant patterns, cross-references with the Company’s own performance data lake (over 200 million hours), and makes proactive recommendations to help coaches and other decision-making practitioners. Zone7 is device agnostic and can interpret whatever strength, conditioning, and medical data a sports organisation has available.
As heavy competitive schedules, minimal rest periods and rigorous training routines put professional athletes at higher risk of injury, Zone7 is helping clubs modify players’ training, reduce non-contact injuries, and recoup more value from player contracts. The Company works with elite teams across the EPL, NFL, MLB, MLS, La Liga, Serie A, NCAA, and Premiership Rugby. Notable clients include Liverpool FC (FA/League Cup winners, Champions League finalists), Rangers FC (Europa League finalists), Valencia CF, LAFC, and QPR FC. Notable investors include athletes (Kristaps Porzingis, Jordi Cruyff, Phil Jones), team owners, and venture capital firms (Blumberg Capital, Resolute Ventures).
