SAN FRANCISCO - As part of an ongoing partnership with Tempus Ex Machina, the Pac-12 Conference will now offer an unprecedented level of additional real-time video and synchronized data access as part of its injury spotter program, beginning with the 2022 Pac-12 Football Championship Game, presented by 76®. Pac-12 team physicians and athletic trainers and injury spotters will have access to additional player-specific game angles via the Game Operations Dashboard®, a groundbreaking video and data synchronization tool developed by sports technology startup Tempus Ex Machina. Today’s announcement continues a strong level of focus and support for the Pac-12 Student-Athlete Health and Well-Being Initiative (SAHWBI), which was created in 2013.

The Pac-12 implemented its injury spotter system for all Pac-12 football games beginning in 2015 to aid the efforts of medical staff and coaches to evaluate their players' health. Through the Game Operations Dashboard®, spotters and medical providers will have access to additional and unprecedented video technology to view, in real-time, every angle generated of every play from games played at Pac-12 venues. The Game Operations Dashboard® is built on Tempus Ex’s proprietary Fusion FeedTM API, which enables applications to access low-latency data and video from Pac-12 Conference home games. Team physicians and athletic trainers will now have access to more angles of every play faster than ever before.

“The health and well being of our student-athletes is our top priority, and we are proud to be the first conference or league to offer this type of additional and industry-leading support for our medical teams,” said Merton Hanks, Pac-12 executive associate commissioner of football operations.

Annie Gerhart, co-founder and COO, Tempus Ex Machina, added: “When we first developed our Fusion FeedTM technology, we knew there were so many different ways it could be used to impact the sports ecosystem, with athlete support always being a key priority. Our entire team is eager to get this technology deployed for access and use by Pac-12 teams and medical staffs and we are excited to have our Game Operations Dashboard® kick-off with the Pac-12 Football Championship.”

Launched in 2013, the Pac-12 SAHWBI has funded the creation of a conference-wide sports injury database, implemented the Pac-12’s injury spotter system and launched the Pac-12 Brain Trauma Task Force and Concussion Coordinating Unit. These efforts enable Pac-12 physicians and trainers to analyze the prevalence of sports injuries and conduct investigations on aspects of injury management such as prevention, treatment, and concussion assessment.
