By: Kitman Labs Iowa State University will use the platform to centralize and combine student-athlete medical and performance data, providing appropriate Departmental Staff with a secure, comprehensive and real-time view of all athletes from a physical and mental health and wellness perspective.

Iowa State University joins approximately 80 other NCAA universities who are currently using the technology from Kitman Labs. "Like many other NCAA universities - Iowa State understands the urgency and critical nature of monitoring the physical and mental well being of its student-athletes and to ensure it's utilizing every tool and resource necessary to support the holistic development of those students during their college tenure, while also developing them for life after school - either inside or outside of Sport," said Kitman Labs Founder & CEO, Stephen Smith. "At Iowa State, we realize that ultimate success includes the ability to communicate and share relevant information across all departments that impact student-athlete health, performance, and well-being as well as incorporating the various aspects of sports science which can allow for more informed decision making," said Mark Coberley, Iowa State's Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine. "We performed a lengthy analysis of our options to incorporate a system that allows us to meet this vision," he added. "We needed an all-encompassing system that was sensitive to our particular needs, desired outcomes and nuances across departments.
