The free injury and concussion management app
Have you ever stood on the sideline wondering if an injured player should continue? Or felt overwhelmed by injury paperwork and uncertain next steps? You’re not alone – and with SportSmart, you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
SportSmart connects teachers, coaches, parents and players with the tools they need to track injuries, make informed return-to-play decisions and keep every player’s wellbeing front and centre. All in real time. All in one secure platform.
From first knocks to full recovery, SportSmart helps you act quickly, communicate clearly and care confidently. Because when we care for our players, they play better, play longer and grow stronger, on and off the field.

A team on hand to support
We know that people take part in different sports, across multiple teams and at different organisations. Between PE, club sport and matches, it can be hard to keep up.
Linked with the SportSmart app, MySportSmart helps parents/carers and players over 18 to manage participation and any injuries that take place during sport. The free app gives you instant access to the latest activity and injury updates from the organisations that you or your child attends, allowing you to make updates and manage a safe return to sport.
To join, you’ll need to be invited by your school or club. Click below to register interest for your organisation.

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.”

How much does SportSmart cost?
SportSmart is fully funded and delivered at no cost to schools and clubs.
Who is SportSmart for?
SportSmart has been designed with coaches and PE teachers in mind, to help you deliver safer sport, PE and physical activity. The SportSmart platform includes functionality for first aiders and medical professionals.
How do I get involved?
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?

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.
