    Scientific Method Meets Innovation

    Peer-reviewed research is foundational in steering the Movement Health community toward scientific truth, but researchers need access to tools to adapt to new analysis needs, capabilities, and opportunities.

    Assets
    Standardization Suffers Out of the Lab

    While protocols are easy to standardize in laboratories, initiatives targeting larger populations in more practical settings pose the risk of compromised data quality.

    Features
    Out-of-Box Features Don’t Meet Needs

    Static assessment protocols, commercially available metrics, and limited data connections inhibit explorations into innovative research areas.

    ML
    Technical Gaps in Areas of Expertise

    Ambitions to address cross-functional research areas can be limited due to staffing. Technical skill sets such as advanced data science can present gaps for research teams.

    A Technology Partner for Cutting-Edge Research

    Sparta Science's platform helps researchers focus on uncovering breakthroughs by reducing burdens associated with data collection, extraction, cleansing, and analysis.

    • Assessment

      ValueProps_ResearchAssessment

      Lab Quality with Commerical Utility

      A laptop or tablet, portable force plate, and the downloadable Scan Application guide users through fast, standardized assessments, ensuring high-quality data for any subject at any sample size.

    • Metrics

      ValueProps_ResearchMetrics

      Enrich and Extract Sophisticated Movement Data

      Available data includes raw, unfiltered data or pre-calculated movement metrics such as time series data, physics-based metrics, signal processing measures, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning metrics.

    • Access

      ValueProps_ResearchAccess

      Data Archival and Maintenance

      Both time-series and derived metric data are stored for continuous access, enabling direct export at any time.

      Calculated metrics undergo automated recalculation and update of results with metric additions and modifications, enabling revisits to past data collection that reflect future improvements. 

    • Survey

      ValueProps_ResearchSurvey

      Self-Reported Data, Steamlined

      Researchers can use the built-in survey tool and distribute it to participants via an easy-to-use app. 

    • Customization

      ValueProps_ResearchCustomization

      Customizable Metrics, Models and Protocols

      When out-of-box capabilities don't suit research needs, Sparta Science can work collaboratively to develop custom assessment protocols, calculate additional metrics, and surface novel ML models.

    What is Movement Health?

    Movement Health is the ability to move freely without pain, limitations, or uncontrolled movement. While the definition is simple to understand, the complex systems contributing to the expression of movement are harder to fathom. It's tempting to isolate movement to the musculoskeletal anatomy, but all bodily systems contribute to how humans experience movement.
