We need to talk about concussion
Concussion isn't one-size fits-all.
When dealing with suspected concussion, being proactive is essential. Every case is unique and having a structured, adaptable approach to assess players and get them back to sport safely makes all the difference.

Spot it. Log it. Know what to do next.
Concussion care starts with clarity. SportSmart helps you record suspected head injuries quickly and consistently, so nothing gets missed. With simple prompts and guided steps, everyone from coaches to parents knows exactly what to do next.

Recovery made personal.
Every player heals differently. SportSmart's Recovery tool supports safer, smoother progression with easy daily check-ins and transparent symptom updates. No guesswork. Just informed decisions that put wellbeing first.

Return with confidence.
A strong return starts with a complete recovery. SportSmart gives you a clear, structured process to bring players back at the right time. When everyone can see the same information, returning becomes a team decision, built on safety, communication and trust.

How much does SportSmart cost?
Our partners pay for SportSmart (in the UK), so you don’t have to.
Podium’s mission is to build a culture of safety and support around every person participating in sport.
We are supported by funding partners who enable the rollout of SportSmart to schools and clubs across the UK, helping us to impact as many people as possible. This means that every school, club, parent and player can benefit from SportSmart tools without having to worry about additional costs.
Why has Podium Analytics created SportSmart?
We’re a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to reduce injuries, increase sporting participation and build a culture of safety and support around every player. Because when we care for our players, they play better, play longer and grow stronger, on and off the field.
The information we gather helps uncover trends and surface injury patterns, guiding smarter prevention and stronger safety across all levels of sport. We share this insight with our SportSmart community, helping us learn collectively so that we all benefit from a growing knowledge bank.
