Company Description

OAthlete is a technology company with roots in Olympic sport on a mission to create sustainable performance using Data not Drugs

The OAthlete project began when the Lance Armstrong drug scandal, termed 'The Greatest Fraud in American Sports', resulted in unexpected withdrawals of top U.S. men's professional cyclists due to performance enhancing drug use. Prior to the 2012 Olympic Games, Olympic athletes Sky Christopherson and Tamara Jenkins created a 'Dream Team' technology project to support the underfunded, understaffed US women's cycling team who had become America's hope for a cycling medal. Prior to the 2012 London Olympic Games, thought leaders in fields of sport, medicine, and technology were assembled into a 'Dream Team', including digital medicine visionary Dr. Eric Topol. OAthlete developed the first software platform to utilize consumer wearable technology, digital health, and a wireless sensor ecosystem for Olympic training that included genetics, environment, physiology, psychology, with big data aggregation. The underdog women shocked the world with a Silver Medal win in London, the subject of a feature-length documentary film called 'Personal Gold' (2015). OAthlete, Inc. is expanding it's technology ecosystem to develop software products for health and fitness markets with the guidance of a world-class advisory team. The company will continue work with Olympic athletes under it's USA2024 initiative to inform product development and provide inspirational marketing narratives. This ethos serves the vision of helping individuals reach sustainable health and performance using Data not Drugs
