MySportSmart is the free partner app to SportSmart, which can be used by parents and players over-16 to manage any injuries and concussions. It gives parents and players over-16 instant access to the latest injury information, so you can update care records and help collectively manage a safe return to sport when needed.
Interested?
To use MySportSmart, you’ll need to be invited by the school or club you/your child attends. If your school or club isn’t set up on SportSmart yet, use the form below and we’ll get in touch with them.
Concussion Recovery on SportSmart
You can now manage a player’s full return after concussion using the in-app Concussion Recovery tool on SportSmart and MySportSmart. The tool walks you through six stages of the Graduated Return to Activity in Sport (GRAS), with simple questions and clear guidance along the way.
This is the first of its kind, in accordance with the latest UK Concussion Guidelines for grassroots sport. Click below to watch our simple animation to find out more about the recovery process.
Focus where it matters most
Our work puts young people at the heart of research, shifting the traditional focus of sports injury research, which is principally adult-focused, and based upon treatment, to preventative solutions looking at the causes of injury, designed for and proven at a youth and grassroots level.
Young people are particularly vulnerable due to physical development and participation in multiple sports. Addressing the issue of sports injury in these crucial years will have a hugely positive impact on the physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing of young people as they grow, enabling them to participate in the sports they love for years to come.

who we’re working with
We collaborate with schools and clubs across the UK to deliver safer sport.
“It has been a pleasure for our school to be involved with the work of Podium Analytics over the last year. A project that aims to help reduce the incidence of injury in school sport links closely with Canford’s sport and wellbeing vision and we look forward to together helping create a safer future for all pupils.”

To sign your school or club up to the SportSmart injury management platform, simply complete this form or email us at info@sportsmart.org and the team will be in touch to help you get up and running in three easy steps.
What do we do with player data?
Looking after your data is a key part of SportSmart. No named data collected through the app will be used without permission. For our broader landscape research, all data has certain information removed meaning that no individual, school or club, coach or teacher or parent/carer is identifiable. This process is called anonymisation.
Any specific research project will always require consent. If a school or club chooses to be involved in a specific research project, they will need to contact the parent/carer of player or, if over 18 the player themselves, directly and ask them if they are happy to participate. Only the data of those who have consented will be used for that specific project.
Each individual project will require its own explicit consent and a participant can remove that consent at any time by contacting dataprotection@podiumanalytics.org.

Where is the data stored?
The data collected through SportSmart is stored in Podium’s secure data lake. To find out more, click here
Can parents/carers and players see the information being recorded?
At the moment, information recorded in the injury management platform can only be accessed by school and club staff.
We are in the process of developing a player and parent/carer portal. This will allow parents/carers and over 18s to view any relevant incident reports and sessions quickly and easily.
How do I get involved in research projects?
The SportSmart team will share regular updates of new research projects that are underway. If your organisation is interested in taking part, you will be able to volunteer directly. The team will then be in touch with further details.
