Biomedical Performance Technologies

At Biomedical Performance Technologies (BPT), we are fortunate to be working with advisors who share our vision of advancing human and machine performance in motorsport. Experts like Renee Stamation , Matthew MacPartlin, Scott Sisson Edward S. Potkanowicz, and Cameron Hill, bring invaluable knowledge and experience to our efforts. Together, we’re creating evidence-based solutions that enhance performance and safety for motorsport athletes. Collaboration with thought leaders is a cornerstone of our work, and we’re excited about the progress we’re making. #motorsportmedicine #motorsportathletes #performance #motorsportsafety #CSIRO #UNSW

At the end-of-year event at QUT Centre for Data Science we had the opportunity to glimpse the future, exploring the groundbreaking possibilities made possible through the unique collaboration of industry and academic expertise. The Next Generation Graduates Program (NGGP) in Sports Data Science, is spearheading the integration of AI into human performance. It was fascinating to see the innovative developments and PhD projects emerging from NGGP. We also learned from Thilo Stadelmann how adopting the right philosophical approaches to AI can unlock its vast potential in the sporting arena, driving positive societal change. Encouraging to see how positive innovative mindsets can effect chance in this space. The culture NGGP is creating is testament to how we can embrace AI to enhance human and machine interaction and performance. At Biomedical Performance Technologies we’re also participating in NGGP with QUT Centre for Data Science , CSIRO's Data61 , and UNSW Data Science Hub (uDASH) and currently recruiting for a PhD student. Our project includes work at the race track and in the lab developing technology for AI in Motorsport to improve Human - Machine Performance. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about this project, or share it with others who might be interested in Motorsport Data Science. Exciting times ahead! #motorsport #datascience

Thanks to Jonathan and Alex from Bridgewater Advisory for joining us at the VAILO Adelaide 500! Lee & Leigh showed them around the paddock and inducted them into how BPT's human performance products fit into Australian motorsport. They also got to get up close with Cameron Hill's supercar in the Matt Stone Racing garage. We hope to see you both again next year!

BPT was part of the UNSW Founders 10x 2024 cohort! Last night celebrated the end of the 10x program with the 2024 UNSW Founders 10x Demo Day. Both of our Co-founders Leigh Stamation and Lee Walsh participated in the accellerator, with Leigh delivering our Demo Day pitch. Thank you to UNSW Founders, and their partners Bridgewater Advisory, for such a great program, but a special thanks to Sasha W.. Sasha was our All Industries 10x program manager, and ran a fantasic program for that she tailored it to us and our businesses! Another special thanks to Anuj P., our Entrepreneur in Residence, who guided us through the program and helped us apply the content and learnings to get BPT to the next level. The Founders 10x program has propelled us forward, and we are excited to bring the next phase of human+maching performance to motorsport!

Yesterday at the Sydney round of the Speed Series, we hosted our supporters from UNSW Founders and Bridgewater Advisory, introducing them into our industry with a behind the scenes induction to racing, engineering, and everything else that happens in the paddock. Thanks to Anuj, Sasha, Beste, Kate, Scott & Paul for coming, and special thanks to Tony and Cameron, Brendon, Filippa & Lee for speaking to us. There are some new fans in the Founders team.

The wait is almost over! Our co-founder Lee Walsh collected our first human performance data at Wakefield Park. We've been waiting for the rebirth as One Raceway, with the bonus of it now being two tracks! We can't wait to get back on track locally, and see One Raceway in full operation.

Are you interested in earning a PhD while doing research at the interface of data science and high performance sport? We have partnered with UNSW Data Science Hub (uDASH) to offer a scholarship for a PhD student to explore new methods of improving athletic performance in motorsport. The project is partially funded by the CSIRO Next Generation Graduate Program, and will include coursework delviered by CSIRO's Data61. The deadline for application is 6 September 2024.

We are excited to be kicking off our reserach program with Prof. Scott Sisson's team at UNSW Data Science Hub (uDASH)! This project has been funded by the Australian Government through the CSIRO's Next Generation Emerging Technologies Graduate Program, which is coordinated by QUT (Queensland University of Technology). Our student will be working with us in the gym, sim, on track and in the lab to discover new insights and data science that help our customers win even more championships. https://lnkd.in/g7Kuhwn9

Thank you to UNSW Founders for running such a great program! Pre-X has helped us consolidate and plan for the next stage of our product development. Thank you to the whole Founders team for the content and advice, but special thanks to the All Industries PM, Sasha W., for taking all of our questions and connecting us with the people who can answer them.

We are excited to have been accepted into the UNSW Founders Pre-X program. Thanks to Eléonore Cluzel for her Wk 1 workshop on using AI tools for customer discovery. We are looking forward to week 2. We've made some good progress on biomedical tech for motosport since we founded in 2023, out of the collaboration between Reaction Performance and Platypus Performance Physiology. We've won research funding from government and have been testing our concept products with athletes and teams at motor racing events. Now UNSW Founders Pre-X will help us get athletic performance in motorsport to the next level!
