Luca

Luca is dedicated to revolutionising brain health support for athletes across all levels of competition. Our mission is rooted in empowering athletes to take charge of their brain health in a way that works for them, so that they receive the help they need, when they need it.

We’ve developed a comprehensive, multivariate, brain health screening tool accounting for the mental health and cognitive ability of athletes. Drawing expertise from renowned psychotherapists, concussion experts, doctors of sports medicine, and various professional athletes, we’ve developed an intelligent screening tool which proactively identifies symptoms of brain health issues.

MENTAL HEALTH

1 in 3 athletes struggle with their mental health

Over the past 5 years or so the social acceptance of mental health issues, especially in sport, has developed significantly, but there’s still a long way to go. Mental health is currently treated reactively, once an issue has been allowed to develop. Athletes must be empowered by regular screenings and data driven insights, in order to better understand their wellbeing, and to take greater ownership of it.

Luca’s trained AI-model ingests athlete data from various sources, identifies symptoms and provides actionable feedback.

CONCUSSION

Concussion is an existential threat to contact sports teams and athletes. With massive lawsuits against the NFL, World Rugby, RFU & WRU totalling hundreds of millions of pounds, the impact of head injuries on athletes’ health has been demonstrated to be significant and, sadly, all too real.

Luca is committed to total brain health support for athletes. We’re implementing cutting-edge research that leverages data and AI to identify and monitor sub-concussive episodes. This is a difficult problem to solve because these micro traumas are often non-symptomatic and, therefore, often totally unknown to the athlete. However, the research suggests that it’s the cumulative impact of the hundreds, even thousands, of micro traumas over the span of a career that’s causing issues down the road, and not the 2 or 3 times an athlete might have been concussed or knocked out in their career.

Our proactive screening of athletes’ cognitive function makes the invisible, visible. It therefore plays an integral role in protecting athletes’ long-term health.
