Working with proven AI-driven innovation platforms that deliver connected technology solutions across IoT, predictive analytics, digital transformation, sports performance technology, animal health systems, and smart environments.

Pioneering AI-Driven Wearables Powering the Next Generation of IoT

The Connected Athlete initiative, launched with Jermaine O’Neal and powered by Verizon and Vodafone, established an early blueprint for modern sports technology, wearable IoT, and AI-driven performance analytics. Developed in collaboration with Chicago Bulls trainers, the platform applied real-time sensor data, early machine-learning models, and predictive analytics to quantify athlete movement, load, and recovery—well before sports analytics became an industry standard.


In 2012, the team debuted the world’s first Connected Shoe at CES, positioning the platform as a global leader in connected wearables, AI trend data, and applied performance intelligence. More than a measurement tool, Connected Athlete delivered predictive insights that informed training, reduced injury risk, and optimized outcomes. Today, that proven architecture serves as a scalable foundation for annual recurring revenue (ARR) through licensing, data services, and platform deployment across new IoT markets—including enterprise technology, mobility, animal health, smart environments, and connected performance systems—well into 2026 and beyond.
