Kitman Labs

Kitman Labs is a sports science and performance intelligence company developing software for professional sports organizations, governing bodies, collegiate athletic departments, elite academies and defense organizations. Founded in Dublin in 2012 by Stephen Smith and Iarfhlaith Kelly, the company brings medical, training and player development information together to support decisions about athlete health, availability and performance.

Its iP: Intelligence Platform connects performance medicine, sports science, coaching and league administration in a shared environment. The platform combines electronic medical records, athlete management systems, wearable sensor data, tracking information and tactical video feeds. This gives multidisciplinary teams a common foundation for reviewing information that would otherwise sit across separate systems and departments.

Connected health and performance workflows

Performance Medicine supports injury records, treatment management and return-to-play workflows. Performance Optimization covers workload monitoring, physical testing and training load analysis. Coaching and development tools help organizations track academy pathways, coordinate coach-athlete communications and connect development information with video and tactical analysis.

At league level, Kitman Labs provides tools for centralized data governance, medical compliance and operational coordination. Its custom analytics and data science services include injury reviews and machine learning model implementation, while Risk Advisor applies predictive modeling to injury-risk analysis. These capabilities support clinical, physical and tactical decision-making across an organization.

Growth and adoption

Kitman Labs expanded its offering through the acquisition of team management provider The Sports Office in January 2020 and the acquisition of Presagia Sports’ athlete electronic health record business in July 2021. These additions extended its capabilities across European team sports and collegiate and Olympic athlete health management.

The company operates internationally, with a presence in Ireland, the United States and the United Kingdom. Its reported platform reach exceeds 2,000 teams and 50 leagues across six continents, reflecting adoption across professional, developmental and institutional sporting environments.
