Abstract The purpose of this investigation is to develop a mobile health platform that can identify athletes in remote communities who are at an increased risk of suffering sudden cardiac death or cardiomyopathy. This cost-effective, feasible, and innovative tool is the first of its kind and can revolutionize preparticipation screening. If the project is done successfully, athletes across the country can be screened, no matter their financial status, access to healthcare, or area code. This will ultimately improve the safety of sports and save lives. This project expands on the grade 9 project, as it uses more robust statistical analysis, an innovative robotics approach, and harnesses the power of machine learning.
