Problem
Athletic trainers often struggle with the time-consuming and error-prone process of manually tracking athletes' weights using traditional scales, paper records, and spreadsheets. Inefficient weight monitoring can delay critical interventions related to hydration, nutrition, and performance, potentially compromising athlete safety and performance.

The Sportscale System features a scale with facial recognition or passcode entry, automatically storing weight data in a secure, cloud-based platform accessible via web and mobile apps. The system automates weight change calculations, generates mobile alerts for unsafe weight fluctuations, and allows staff to send customized feedback to athletes. This enables athletic trainers, strength coaches, and wrestling staff to optimize athlete safety, hydration management, and performance tracking.
