SportGait’s Patented BKGTM Gait Technology Validated Through Peer-Reviewed Process for Mobile Phone Use and Published in The Journal of Pediatric Neuropsychology
WILMINGTON, N.C., May 9, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
SportGait, the brain wellness and medical technology company helping to detect, track and prevent concussions, proudly announced today that its patented BKG™ gait technology has been validated for mobile phone use and published in the Journal of Pediatric Neuropsychology. This announcement comes on the heels of another peer-reviewed publication earlier this year in the Journal of Concussion that demonstrated BKG gait technology’s reliability and accuracy, proving that it can create biomarkers and be used to predict concussion outcomes effectively. The company is also in the process of validating the technology for use in Parkinson’s, Frailty, and other significant neurological conditions.
The latest published study, Click Here, highlights that using a mobile device to perform SportGait’s BKG gait test produced results equivalent to those produced when performing the gait test with dedicated body-worn sensors. The study covers both adolescents and adults. Data also indicated that gait sensors can detect prolonged recovery trajectories for concussed patients. The mobile BKG scores were evaluated using more than 4,000 individuals and achieved strong test-retest reliability across all gait metrics. This outcome is truly groundbreaking for SportGait and the use of its technology in clinical practice. Putting SportGait’s unique clinically validated gait technology on a person’s mobile device allows for ubiquitous distribution and enables remote patient monitoring. Historically, a major barrier to easy and effective clinical treatment of concussions has been the need for multiple in-person assessments. SportGait’s mobile BKG test removes this barrier and enables remote patient monitoring and assessment without the need for in-person medical visits.
“This new technology not only puts a powerful assessment tool in the hands of patients, but because it only takes 1-2 minutes to collect thousands of data points on gait, we are arming medical providers with considerable data to make more informed decisions,” says Dr. Len Lecci, lead researcher on the study.
“Our goal at SportGait has always been to be able to provide efficient, efficacious, and economical tools and resources to help individuals, families, coaches and medical providers make more informed decisions around head injuries and concussions. By bringing our BKG technology to the phone, we’re taking a major leap forward,” commented SportGait President and CEO Chris Newton. “Our newly updated mobile application will turn any smartphone into an incredibly powerful tool for assisting with clinical diagnosis and treatment plans for head injuries, without the costs and hassles that come with specialized sensors. That means fewer trips to the doctor without sacrificing quality of care.”
SportGait’s patented technology uses data collected by a mobile device’s accelerometers and creates BioKinetoGraphs (BKG), which are a visual depiction of a person’s gait. Similar to the shape of a waveform, the graph-like displays visually correspond to different events during a gait cycle such as the foot hitting the ground or pushing off of it. The company recently released version 2.0 of its software platform, which included an updated mobile application and enhanced communication through its ecosystem to support patients both in-clinic and remotely.

Steven Rinella’s MeatEater Adds Dave Smith Decoys to Its Family of Premium Outdoor Companies
BOZEMAN, Mont., May 9, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
MeatEater, Inc. announced today the acquisition of Dave Smith Decoys (DSD), an industry leader in ultra-realistic hunting decoys and gear. The move marks the company’s newest strategic acquisition in high-performance outdoor products, following the company’s acquisition of technical hunting apparel brand First Lite in 2019, FHF Gear in 2020, and Phelps Game Calls in 2021.
For more than two decades, DSD has brought the most realistic and effective decoys to market with an uncompromising commitment to realism, quality, and customer service. DSD specializes in creating turkey, waterfowl, and deer decoys that blend seamlessly into the wild spaces DSD’s customers explore and hunt. From life-size, incredibly detailed, full-body whitetail deer to a full-spectrum of hen and gobbler turkey poses to nearly every species and subspecies of goose that’s hunted around the world, DSD is known for creating poses and finishes that flat-out work in the field. MeatEater will aim to expand the company’s offerings and bring its unique products to a larger customer base.
“We have a track record of bringing trusted brand partners into the MeatEater fold and helping them expand their products and reach,” said MeatEater founder Steven Rinella. “I’ve been using DSD for a bunch of years. Their decoys are high-quality and look more realistic than anything on the market. When we had the chance to introduce even more people to this exceptional brand, we jumped at it.”
“With our commitment to making ultra-effective decoys in mind, and our passion for conservation and ethical hunting, we would only agree to a partnership with a company who we feel we are aligned with in all these things. In MeatEater, we have found that partner,” said Dave Smith, DSD founder.
“Maintaining the quality of our products is a top priority to all of us while simultaneously promoting hunting in a positive light to preserve our hunting heritage,” added DSD co-owner Brad Cochran.
Under the leadership of Smith and DSD co-owners Cochran and Greg Hogan, DSD will continue to expand its line of premium “A.C.E. Decoys” in its Oregon-based plant as part of this new venture. “We have some great new products in the works and we’re excited to work with the MeatEater team to bring these to market,” said Greg Hogan, co-owner and manager of operations for DSD.
The acquisition of DSD follows last week’s appointment of Jason Bergsman as CEO of MeatEater, Inc.
