Encouraging to see that the @iocmedia is engaging with such initiatives which reinforce our motivation to keep working on the safe and effective implementation of AI for injury prevention.
Great two days for the @iocmedia Health, Medicine and Science Dept at the Olympic Movement AI Engagement Forum as we explored the use of AI in injury and illness management and prevention, online abuse protection and mental wellbeing, and anti-doping. Athlete health is central🏆.

Having people who understand you and what you've been through can help to make such a difference! 🤗 🚣 For Ellie, that's what she found in dragon boat paddling. The group, made up of people affected by breast cancer, offered her friendship and support when she needed it most.
