Abstract
In the spirit of Paris 2024’s slogan, “Games Wide Open,” the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in sports medicine aims to open new frontiers for athlete health and performance. Athletes and patients are increasingly recognized as essential partners in developing and implementing AI systems in sports medicine and science. AI systems in sports medicine have several possible applications, including diagnostic tools, behavior and performance monitoring systems, and external devices that monitor vital signs, sleep patterns, or other health metrics. These monitoring applications help in real-time assessment and management of an athlete’s health, enabling timely interventions and optimizing performance.
