Sports Tech Company, Orreco and Scarlet Health team up to provide a new solution for Athletes to optimize performance
Los Angeles CA – (Sep 1, 2021) Specialist sports performance and biomarker company Orreco have joined forces with Scarlet Health, an on-demand diagnostic service by BioReference Laboratories Inc., an OPKO Health company (NASDAQ:OPK), providing a superior, fully integrated digital solution that addresses modern testing needs, to provide a new solution for pre-season athlete physicals and in-season testing for professional and collegiate athletes.
Scarlet, combined with Orreco’s AI/ML performance algorithms, provides sport specific interpretation of data while cross referencing it with GPS, heart rate and game statistics, in line with each sports collective BargainingAgreement.
Profiles can include full bio-analytics, fatigue profiles, nutrition analysis and women’s specific panels, all of which can be accessed via Orreco’s @thlete app. Using Scarlet, athletes can have their specimens collected for profile clinical testing in a team environment or at home, if opting to analyse their own biomarkers with their personal physician and performance staff.
This initiative means athletes in training in every state in the U.S. will be able to access the service. The disrupted schedules and seasons have placed higher than ever demands on players. Machine learning algorithms that take into account game schedules, training data, travel across time-zones, data from wearables and nutrition plans combined with blood test panels can help give truly personalised suggestions and help world class athletes get even better.
“Scarlet meets patients where they are – whether they are a world-class athlete optimizing their performance, or a busy parent managing their family’s health – and offers ease of use and convenient access to diagnostics,” said Richard Schwabacher, Chief Digital Officer at BioReference.
adding “Under this new collaboration, Scarlet’s digital seamless integration and our experience providing testing to the majority of professional U.S. sports leagues in combination with Orreco’s best-in-class digital solutions provides elite and high performing athletes access to insightful and valuable diagnostic information that can help advance their performance in new and innovative ways.”
Dr.Brian Moore, CEO, Orreco : “Everything we do at Orreco is to help athletes optimize their performance, accelerate their recovery from training and matches and to help prolong their playing careers. Working together with BioReference and Scarlet will enable us to do this at scale and help meet athletes where they are to understand their bodies and personalize their training and nutrition.”
