Do you remember seeing that collapsible tent used to conduct private medical exams on injured players used on the Alabama sideline last season? The school has licensed the technology to a spin-off company that will develop, market, manufacture and distribute the tent, the university announced.
Under an agreement between UA and Kinematic Sports LLC, the SidelinER, as it is now called, is available to be purchased by prep, college and pro sports teams and has the potential for other applications such as emergency response.
The office for technology transfer within the UA Office of the vice president for research and economic development assisted in protecting and promoting the intellectual property and in crafting the licensing agreement.
