The ATP and ATP Media partnered with Sports Data Labs to complete a successful trial of real-time, medical grade biometric sensors at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif. that concluded earlier this week.
Roger Federer captured the crown on Sunday at Indian Wells Tennis Garden, and during the two-week tournament, real-time biometric data was captured. Sports Data Labs provides the infrastructure to allow for in-game capture, analysis and distribution of real-time human data, enabling sports organizations to unlock the value of that data.
“These are very early days in this field, and this ground-breaking trial focussed on using a variety of third party, high resolution, medical grade sensors on an elite athlete at a tournament to wirelessly transmit real time Biomechanical and Biometric data directly to a single platform, achieving something that has never been done before,” Shane Warden, Director of Broadcast and Technology, ATP Media, said in a statement.
