Halifax health-technology company Kinduct Technologies said Tuesday the Seattle Mariners have become the ninth Major League Baseball team to subscribe to the company’s athlete management system, or AMS.
With this new partnership, the Mariners will be able to obtain a deeper understanding of their players’ data resulting in intuitive decision-making within their organization, said Kinduct in a statement. AMS will help the Mariners improve athlete performance, mitigate injuries and improve recovery.
“The need for data collection and analytics was apparent – Kinduct’s AMS bridged that gap for us,” said Lorena Martin, Director of High Performance for the Seattle Mariners. “It goes without saying that we’re all busy and our time is precious; having our data pulled into a centralized platform allows for more time spent on actionable measures to improve our player performance and well-being.”
Kinduct’s AMS product is already helping well over 100 professional and elite sports organizations find information on the human body and specific athletes. The software helps these organizations collect, organize, share and analyze data in one centralized platform, leading to more informed decisions. It draws from about 500 data sources and includes the world’s largest library of medical animation. The company last raised funding in a US$9 million round led by Intel Capital in October, 2016.
Kinduct's website notes that its clients range from the San Francisco 49ers to the Boston Bruins, and includes such pro baseball teams as the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals.
“The penetration in the MLB is unbelievable,” said Kinduct CEO Travis McDonough. “It’s great to see the Mariners become part of the Kinduct team.”
