Non-contact injuries may never be fully predictable, but they’re rarely random.
For medical and performance staff, managing injury risk is a daily pressure. With dozens of variables at play—workload, fatigue, fitness, and injury history—it’s nearly impossible to know where to focus, when to intervene, or how to justify decisions to coaches and leadership.
That’s where Risk Advisor stands apart. Available as an add-on within the Performance Medicine Solution in iP: Intelligence Platform, it uses machine learning to identify athletes with elevated risk and the factors driving it. When paired with the Performance Optimization Solution, it delivers its full value by connecting injury history with workload, readiness, and testing data for sharper accuracy.
What Is Risk Advisor?
Risk Advisor is an AI-powered capability within the Performance Medicine Solution in iP: Intelligence Platform. It assesses daily injury risk for every athlete—helping staff quickly see who’s most at risk and why.
Unlike generic dashboards or blanket alerts, Risk Advisor delivers actionable context—helping staff justify decisions, focus attention, and intervene earlier. When combined with the Performance Optimization Solution, it builds on that foundation by adding testing and performance data to create a complete, data-driven risk profile.
It’s not about perfect predictions—it’s about intelligent insights grounded in your own data, tailored to your environment, and built for the decisions that matter most.
Getting the Most Out of Risk Advisor
Risk Advisor integrates seamlessly into existing medical and performance workflows, delivering daily, data-driven decision support.
With the Performance Medicine Solution, you capture the injury history needed to understand risk. Add Performance Optimization, and Risk Advisor evolves further—combining workload, testing, and third-party data for deeper insight.
Together, these Solutions enable Risk Advisor to reveal who is at risk, why, and what’s driving it.
The result: a clearer picture, stronger athlete prioritization, and more informed interventions throughout the season.
- Performance Medicine establishes the foundation.
- Performance Optimization expands the view.
- Risk Advisor unites it all into focused, daily intelligence you can act on.
How It Works: Predictive Analytics Built on Your Data
Risk Advisor doesn’t rely on generic benchmarks or external models—it’s trained on your team’s data and environment. Injury history, workload tracking, wellness inputs, testing results, and third-party sources feed a machine learning model that produces customizable daily risk insights for each athlete.
Staff can choose which data to include and tailor the model to specific needs—by injury type, body area, or severity—ensuring outputs reflect the realities that matter most.
The stronger and cleaner your data, the sharper the model.
Organizations with established datasets can expedite setup through Kitman Labs’ Data Health service, part of our Custom Analytics offering, ensuring records are consistent and ready for Risk Advisor. For teams just starting their data journey, a season’s worth of structured inputs is enough to build trustworthy models.
Once your data is reliable, the focus shifts from questioning numbers to acting on them—freeing staff to make timely, confident decisions.
What Risk Advisor Delivers
- Daily injury-risk scores tailored to each athlete
- Clear contributing factors to guide interventions
- Custom alerts aligned to your thresholds
- Transparent model performance (sensitivity, accuracy, specificity)
This is predictive analytics in sport—done right. No false promises. No black-box algorithms. Just actionable intelligence to keep players available and teams performing.
Smarter Decisions, Not Perfect Predictions
Risk Advisor doesn’t claim to predict every injury, and it doesn’t need to. It helps staff assess risk objectively using all available information across workload, testing, and injury history.
That means decisions are no longer based on instinct; they’re guided by evidence.
The model evolves over time, refining with each new dataset to better align with your athletes, staff, and environment. And because Risk Advisor is designed to support—not replace—practitioner judgment, it adds clarity to what you already know.
When two athletes present differently but both show elevated risk, you’ll understand what’s driving each case. When coaches or leadership ask for answers, you’ll have objective evidence ready.
Ultimately, the goal isn’t just to prevent injuries; it’s to maximize player availability, accelerate development, and drive greater return on investment.
With Risk Advisor, risk management becomes performance management—helping teams win more, develop better, and spend smarter.
Ready to Act on (vs. react to) Injury Risk?
If you’re collecting athlete data and not turning it into action, you’re leaving value on the table. Risk Advisor transforms that data into machine-learning insights that drive smarter, earlier decisions.
Now is the time to put your data to work.
