Uplift Labs

Our CEO, Sukemasa Kabayama, recently spoke on a panel at Sports Business Journal Tech Week— Tech and Talent: AI’s Impact on Athlete Training and Performance. Host Joe Lemire asked Masa, former NFL All-Star Ndamukong Suh, and Brian Moore PhD of Orreco about the best ways to integrate AI-powered features into existing workflows. Masa opened by sharing one of his favorite quotes from Scott Galloway: "AI won’t take your job. Someone using AI will."

At Uplift Labs, we’ve always been driven by a singular mission—leveraging AI-powered motion capture technology and analysis to enhance human performance and minimize injury risks. From elite athletes optimizing their movement to everyday workers performing critical job tasks, we believe that movement quality matters in every aspect of life. That’s why we were thrilled to announce our partnership with DataFit —a leader in employment strength testing and workforce analytics—during the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Conference. Together, we’re bringing a transformative workforce screening solution to businesses nationwide, seamlessly integrating our 3D motion capture technology with DataFit’s proven assessment platform. This collaboration introduces LiftSmart, a game-changing solution that ensures faster, more objective, and highly scalable new hire assessments. By removing traditional barriers such as logistical constraints and high costs, LiftSmart makes workforce screenings more accessible, efficient, and data-driven. As companies adopt this technology, they are seeing improved hiring efficiency, reduced injury risks, and lower insurance claims—ultimately creating safer, healthier workplaces while optimizing performance and reducing costs! #humanperformance #AI #occupationaltech #workersaftety #workerhealth https://lnkd.in/gihpdyA6

At Uplift Labs, we believe a science-backed approach is fundamental to our product reliability. That’s why we’ve just published our comparison report for our recently launched app, Uplift, against the industry leader, VALD. In this validation report, we compare Uplift to Vald Performance’s ForceDecks by having elite athletes perform counter-movement jumps. Both Uplift and VALD show strong agreement on measures of jump height and flight time. A key difference is that Uplift provides kinematic measures, such as joint angles and velocities, which add comprehensive movement insights for athletes and coaches—all accessible on your iPhone or iPad for assessments on the road, in the weight room, or even in your garage! The Uplift app is now available on the Apple App Store. https://lnkd.in/gw-Vq5sB Check out our full downloadable report below! #validation #biomechanics #sportsscience #sportsmedicine #movementassessments https://lnkd.in/grwkq9bi
