An honorable mention in the Health Services
category, Springbok Analytics is building the new standard in
muscle health
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., May 14, 2024
/CNW/ - Springbok Analytics (www.springbokanalytics.com), a
life sciences muscle analytics company, announced today that it has
been recognized by Fast Company on its 2024 World Changing Ideas
Awards list for its full body MRI muscle health analysis. Named an
honorable mention in the Health Services category, Springbok is
building a new standard in muscle health with its AI-based
technology, improving health and performance outcomes for all: from
elite athletes to those suffering from muscle-wasting diseases, as
well as the millions of people looking to improve their quality of
life, and the pursuit of longevity. Springbok's new, rapid full
body analysis is the first commercialized technology to accurately
quantify individual muscles from MRI.
"Full body analyses from MRI are becoming more commonplace with
advancements in AI, imaging technology, and an increased interest
in preventive health," said Silvia
Blemker, Springbok Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer.
"We are proud to be the first technology to accurately quantify
over 100 individual muscles across the legs, core, back, chest,
shoulder, and arms, providing a holistic, personalized view of
muscle volume, symmetry, balance, and health." Dr. Blemker was
recently recognized for her contributions to the fields of muscle
health and biomechanics, becoming the first woman to win the Goel
Award for Translational Research in Biomechanics from the American
Society of Biomechanics.
Earlier this year, Springbok was selected by Fast Company as
part of its 2024 Most Innovative Companies list, and its technology
was also recognized by Sports Business Journal as the Best in
Athlete Performance Technology for 2024. The winners of Fast
Company's 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards were announced today,
highlighting fresh sustainability initiatives, cutting-edge AI
developments, ambitious pursuits of social equity, and other
creative projects that are helping mold the world.
To date, muscle health analysis tools and techniques have
largely been manual, subjective, and based on estimations with high
variability. Springbok has developed an AI-based technology that
generates automated, objective, precise and scalable analysis from
MRI, and is deploying it across existing imaging networks,
requiring no additional hardware or software.
"We have built a powerful core technology with many high-value
applications across healthcare, from optimizing athlete performance
and injury management, to informing research and clinical trials,
and into large-scale MSK injury prediction and management," said
Scott Magargee, Springbok CEO and
Co-Founder. A Springbok lower extremity scan takes under 10 minutes
of imaging time, and this new full body scan takes under 40
minutes.
