STATSports Apex Vest Runs Edge AI on Nordic Chips to Track Player Load in Real Time
The Apex Series embeds Bluetooth sensors and Nordic nRF chips inside a lightweight vest. Data streams to edge processors that calculate distance, speed, and acceleration without cloud latency. English Premier League clubs and other major federations already deploy the system.
Coaches receive live workload numbers instead of waiting for post-session reports. Training intensity can be adjusted mid-session. Injury risk models become dynamic rather than retrospective.
STATSports supplies the Apex vest to English Premier League teams. Clubs report reduced soft-tissue injuries after using live edge analytics to cap high-speed running volume per player.
Step 1: Visit https://statsports.com and request the Apex Series developer kit. Step 2: Pair the vest via Bluetooth to the Nordic nRF Connect mobile app and start a live session. Step 3: Watch the real-time dashboard for distance and acceleration; export the session CSV to adjust the next day's training load.
