JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The Jacksonville Icemen and Jacksonville Waves professional men’s hockey and women’s basketball team owned and operated by Zawyer Sports & Entertainment (ZSE), today announced a strategic partnership with Xenco Medical to better enable athletes to receive the care they need and compete at the highest level.

Xenco Medical is a pioneering global medical technology company working at the intersection of surgical technology, artificial intelligence, and digital health. Relentlessly committed to forging an outcomes-driven healthcare ecosystem, Xenco Medical has advanced musculoskeletal care through its AI-powered healthcare technologies, biomimetic implants, regenerative biomaterials, composite polymer surgical systems, and immersive surgical imaging solutions. 

The Icemen and Waves are transforming the future of professional sports science by using Xenco Medical’s XenVision AI platform to capture biomechanical intelligence and monitor, evaluate, and optimize athlete performance throughout the competitive season. Powered by advanced computer vision, markerless motion capture, and artificial intelligence, XenVision enables sophisticated biomechanical evaluations in under two minutes without wearable sensors or physical markers. Through a groundbreaking longitudinal monitoring program using XenVision, the Icemen and the Waves will be able to establish individualized biomechanical baselines for every athlete, quantitatively tracking joint kinematics, range of motion, bilateral asymmetries, postural stability, and compensatory movement patterns across the season. 

By integrating repeatable biomechanical measurements with athlete-specific statistical modeling and sports medicine expertise, the use of XenVision by the Icemen and the Waves will enable a new generation of data-informed training optimization, individualized recovery protocols, and objective rehabilitation monitoring based on each athlete’s biomechanical digital phenotype. This application of XenVision by the Icemen and Waves represents a profound advancement in the engineering of human performance: a shift from reacting to injuries after they occur toward continuously understanding how an athlete's musculoskeletal function evolves, with the potential to redefine the intersection of artificial intelligence, precision sports medicine, and elite athletic performance.

“We are thrilled by the Jacksonville Icemen’s embrace of XenVision in a way that so powerfully illustrates what we believe is the future of athletic performance and musculoskeletal health. Constantly adapting to load, to fatigue, to recovery, to the relentless rhythm of a season, the body of a professional hockey player is a story written in motion. The Icemen’s installation of XenVision to build a longitudinal portrait of each athlete throughout the course of the season, growing more revealing with every assessment, marks what we believe to be one of the most exciting moments in sports science,” said Xenco Medical Founder and CEO Jason Haider.
