Method and system for providing injury-based participation management for team activities
An approach for providing diagnostic information regarding one or more impacts sustained by one or more users while the one or more users are participating in a team activity is described. A diagnostic platform detects one or more impacts sustained by a user, wherein the user is part of a team with one or more other users engaged in a team activity. The diagnostic platform generates a recommendation for a level of participation of the user, the one or more other users, or a combination thereof in the team activity based on the one or more impacts, a severity level of the one or more impacts, or a combination thereof. The diagnostic platform further presents the recommendation, a representation of the severity level, a representation of the level of participation, or a combination thereof in a user interface.
1. A method comprising:
detecting one or more impacts sustained by a user, wherein the user is part of a team with one or more other users engaged in a team activity;
determining a substitution of the user by the one or more other users participating in the team activity based on the one or more impacts;
generating a recommendation for a level of participation of the user in the team activity based on the one or more impacts, a severity level of the one or more impacts, or a combination thereof,
wherein the recommendation includes the substitution; and
presenting the recommendation, a representation of the severity level, a representation of the level of participation, or a combination thereof in a user interface.
2. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring the one or more impacts sustained by the user over a period of time,
wherein the recommendation specifies the level of participation of at least a portion of the period of time.
3. A method of claim 2 , wherein the period of time represents a duration of the team activity, a duration of a season of the team activity, a duration of a career of the team activity, or a combination thereof.
4. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring biometric data, contextual data, or a combination thereof associated with the user, the one or more other users, the team, the team activity, or a combination thereof,
wherein the recommendation is further based on the biometric data, the contextual data, or a combination thereof.
5. A method of claim 1 ,
wherein the substitution includes disengaging the user from the team activity.
6. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:
calculating the severity level of a single one, a plurality, or an entirety of the one or more impacts,
wherein the recommendation is further based on comparing the severity level against impact threshold criteria.
7. A method of claim 6 , wherein the severity level is based on sensor information collected from equipment worn by the user, the one or more other users, or a combination thereof.
8. A method of claim 7 , wherein the sensor information includes g-force data, vibration data, acceleration data, rotational data, or a combination thereof.
9. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
detect one or more impacts sustained by a user, wherein the user is part of a team with one or more other users engaged in a team activity,
determine a substitution of the user by the one or more other users participating in the team activity based on the one or more impacts,
generate a recommendation of a level of participation of the user in the team activity based on the one or more impacts, a severity level of the one or more impacts, or a combination thereof,
wherein the recommendation includes the substitution, and
present the recommendation, a representation of the severity level, a representation of the level of participation, or a combination thereof in a user interface.
10. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further configured to:
monitor the one or more impacts sustained by the user over a period of time,
wherein the recommendation specifies the level of participation of at least a portion of the period of time.
11. An apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the period of time represents a duration of the team activity, a duration of a season of the team activity, a duration of a career of the team activity, or a combination thereof.
12. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further configured to:
monitor biometric data, contextual data, or a combination thereof associated with the user, the one or more other users, the team, the team activity, or a combination thereof,
wherein the recommendation is further based on the biometric data, the contextual data, or a combination thereof.
13. An apparatus of claim 9 ,
wherein the substitution includes disengaging the user from the team activity.
14. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further configured to:
calculate the severity level of a single one, a plurality, or an entirety of the one or more impacts,
wherein the recommendation is further based on comparing the severity level against impact threshold criteria.
15. An apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the severity level is based on sensor information collected from equipment worn by the user, the one or more other users, or a combination thereof.
16. An apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the sensor information includes g-force data, vibration data, acceleration data, rotational data, or a combination thereof.
17. A system comprising:
a diagnostic platform configured to detect one or more impacts sustained by a user, wherein the user is part of a team with one or more other users engaged in a team activity; determine a substitution of the user by the one or more other users participating in the team activity based on the one or more impacts; generate a recommendation of a level of participation of the user in the team activity based on the one or more impacts, a severity level of the one or more impacts, or a combination thereof, wherein the recommendation includes the substitution; and present the recommendation, a representation of the severity level, a representation of the level of participation, or a combination thereof in a user interface.
18. A system of claim 17 , further comprising:
the diagnostic platform further configured to monitor the one or more impacts sustained by the user over a period of time,
wherein the recommendation specifies the level of participation of at least a portion of the period of time,
wherein the substitution includes disengaging the user from the team activity.
19. A system of claim 18 , wherein the period of time represents a duration of the team activity, a duration of a season of the team activity, a duration of a career of the team activity, or a combination thereof.
20. A system of claim 17 , further comprising:
the diagnostic platform further configured to monitor biometric data, contextual data, or a combination thereof associated with the user, the one or more other users, the team, the team activity, or a combination thereof,
wherein the recommendation is further based on the biometric data, the contextual data, or a combination thereof.
