A comprehensive patient portal for ACL recovery, tracking return-to-sport metrics, symptom check-ins, and clinical oversight.

SteadField

Athlete Performance & Injury Prevention

A comprehensive AI-powered clinical platform for ACL injury prevention, rehabilitation tracking, and return-to-sport decision-making. SteadField combines machine learning analytics with evidence-based protocols to detect early warning signs, predict recovery trajectories, and optimize rehab progression. Connecting athletes, clinicians, surgeons, coaches, and parents through intelligent, data-driven recovery.

Recovery Tracking

AI-powered weekly check-ins monitor pain levels, joint swelling, warmth, readiness scores, and session compliance — flagging warning signs before setbacks occur.

Data-Driven RTP

Machine learning benchmarks compare quad strength, hop distance, hamstring symmetry, and CMJ asymmetry against RTP targets with predictive clearance timelines.

Care Team Sync

Secure messaging, shared clinical notes, automated parent email summaries, and real-time symptom flags keep athletes, clinicians, surgeons, and families fully aligned.
