Unlimited ambition
Forceteck is on a mission to democratise elite sports science by closing the "accessibility gap" in professional biomechanics.
By removing the need for expensive, static laboratory equipment, we empower coaches and medical teams to capture "lab-grade" data directly in the field - whether on the pitch or the sprint track.
Our platform allows for real-time, actionable insights that were previously impossible to obtain during high-velocity competition.
Unlimited innovation
What makes Forceteck unique is our development of Physics-Informed Machine Learning.
While standard AI often relies on simple pattern recognition, we have achieved a "holy grail" in biomechanics by integrating fundamental laws of physics into our models.
This allows us to estimate complex internal forces, such as joint-level stress and ground reaction forces, using nothing more than standard video footage.
Unlimited potential
Having moved AI out of the realm of experimentation into a mission-critical tool, Forceteck is already redefining performance standards globally.
Our technology is a strategic tool for athlete welfare, accurately measuring forces in rugby tackles to optimise return-to-play protocols.
From Olympic gold medals to professional leagues, we are explaining the "why" behind human performance.
Unlimited talent
Our "R&D heart" is powered by a high-calibre team of specialists dedicated to moving AI into the real world.
This includes experts in Computer Vision, Computational Biomechanists, and dedicated PhD researchers.
This internal expertise allows us to provide the "automation of the expert," delivering laboratory-quality insights to coaches in minutes.
A University of Bath spin‑out whose physics‑driven AI transforms elite research into real‑world performance insights.
Did you know…
Bath Community
We are deeply rooted in the local sports ecosystem, working closely with Bath Rugby and the Bristol Bears. Our technology is "tested and trusted" by these local titans, helping them gain marginal gains while ensuring the highest standards of player safety through non-invasive monitoring.
Founded
Forceteck was co-founded by Dr. Dario Cazzola, an Associate Professor in Computational Biomechanics from the University of Bath, and Roy Shubhabrata, a technology entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in global healthcare and technology.
The company is a University of Bath spin-out, transforming over a decade of world-leading academic research into a commercial reality.
How does Bath influence your work?
Bath is our innovation engine. Our status as a University of Bath spin-out provides us with a direct pipeline to groundbreaking research and elite training facilities.
Being part of the SETsquared Bath incubator has been fundamental to our growth, while the regional tech ecosystem fostered by TechSpark challenges us to maintain our edge as one of the South West's most exciting "Deep Tech" startups.
Where are you based?
Bath
Global
Yes – supporting elite teams and medical protocols globally, including the British Bobsleigh and Skeleton teams at the Winter Olympics.
