DescriptionThe AI model predicted severe non-contact leg injuries with 82% accuracy. So, for every ten such injuries, the model would have correctly predicted eight. An early-warning AI system could provide coaches with crucial insights on which players might be at risk. Think of it as a hi-tech crystal ball, offering a glimpse into potential problems before they happen and enabling proactive measures to keep players on the field.
