We focus on the development of point-of-caresports testing devices to help enhance sports performance. Our sports priorities are led by the sports physicians/trainers/coaches in sports industry.
Lactate and blood gases are the premier indicator of aerobic conditioning for athletes and a key predictor of athletic performance. Our fitnessreader measures lactate currently and is being developed further to measure other markers (such as pH, PO2 etc) relevant to sports to better manage training and conditioning for athletes.
