All sports technology is not created equal, yet finding information about a technology’s quality is challenging. Adopting poor quality sports tech leads to:

• Wasted time, effort, and money

• Incorrect and even detrimental decision-making

• Unexpected implementation costs

• Poor user experience

• Increased liability risk, and a

• Loss of trust across stakeholders.

A comprehensive  quality evaluation from a trusted, independent source provides clear information for more effective decision-making. Governing bodies, leagues, teams, and technology providers rely on these data to:

• Inform purchasing, contracting, and investment decisions

• Promote parity and democratization of technology

• Guide technology development and innovation

• Improve technology deployment

• Ensure athlete safety

• Address liability risk

For governing bodies, sports organisations and leagues, operating large-scale technology assessment or approval programmes is a challenging and costly undertaking.

For manufacturers, there are few options for cost- and time-efficient quality assessment, and there is no clear standard in the industry.

Our team has witnessed these challenges firsthand, and we know there is a better path forward that supports the needs of all stakeholders. We’ve created ISTS with the mission of making sports tech quality assessment more accessible. We believe better information leads to better technology and better outcomes – a win for all of sport.
