ECOSEP, Tata Elxsi Announce AI-Driven Partnership to Advance Sports Medicine

The partnership focuses on healthcare applications such as advanced diagnostics, injury prevention, and real-time athlete monitoring.

The European College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ECOSEP) and Tata Elxsi have partnered strategically to apply artificial intelligence in sports and exercise medicine. 

The partnership focuses on healthcare applications such as advanced diagnostics, injury prevention, and real-time athlete monitoring.

Prof. Nicola Maffulli, President of ECOSEP, said, “Tata Elxsi's long-term vision aligns with ECOSEP's aim to develop and maintain 360° care for athletes and physically active individuals. With the power of Tata Elxsi, ECOSEP shall develop comprehensive care packages that will help optimise performance and health.”

The collaboration will also combine ECOSEP’s clinical and research expertise with Tata Elxsi’s AI and machine learning capabilities. Both organisations aim to develop tools that support personalised treatment plans, enable predictive analytics, and improve athlete health outcomes.

Anup SS, Practice Head – AI and Machine Learning at Tata Elxsi, stated, “This collaboration with ECOSEP represents an exciting opportunity to apply AI in ways that directly impact athlete health and performance. By combining clinical insight with advanced data science, we aim to co-create intelligent tools that support early diagnosis, enable real-time decision-making, and personalise care for every athlete. Together, we’re paving the way for a new era in sports medicine—smarter, faster, and more human-centric.”

The initiative was spearheaded by Dr. Pakravan, Vice Chair of ECOSEP, and facilitated by Dr. Malliaropoulos, General Secretary. Both organisations intend to advance clinical research and AI development in musculoskeletal and sports medicine.
