I absolutely loved my time at Uppingham School and thoroughly enjoyed chatting all things entrepreneurship with a bunch of super bright sixth formers at LSE Generate this afternoon. It's awesome to see how exposure to tech and startups is being prioritised by schools! Also great to reconnect with a familiar face, Sam Dewhurst. We're delighted that we'll be welcoming an OU as an intern this summer. Uppingham truly is a school for life.

Super insightful article by Alex Bywater in the Daily Mail about how AI is being used to help manage the head injury problem in rugby. Little shout-out to Luca Health as well 💪 👇👇

Expanding on our video insight into the recent 'Ahead of the Game' event hosted by Sam Peters and Alison Kervin OBE. Our Co-Founder Nick Greenhalgh recently spoke at the inaugural 'Ahead of the Game' event hosted at St Paul's School. The speakers and guests at the event included the esteemed Sir Clive Woodward, Mike Loosemore, Cath Bishop, Dr Lisa Ryan (RNutr), Sam Smith,Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Bill Ribbans, Neil Rollings, David Bartlett and Professor Willie Stewart. The evening was a fantastic success featuring three engaging and compelling panels discussing the problems with sport, the purpose of sport and the future of sport. Nick spoke to the audience on the third panel centred around the 'Future of Sport' which featured key themes such as the welfare of young people in sport, experiences with concussion in today's sporting world and how to make sport a safer space for the future. Our values at Luca shone through consistently. Not least the absolute need to 'empower' schools and their staff to make smart decisions regarding pupil welfare. This comes in a landscape where raising awareness that there is a concussion problem is not enough. There is also a clear, shared recognition that the provisions available in the professional game are not shared with grassroots and school sport. Hence, there is a pressing need to develop technologies and services that are accessible right the way through sport from the ground up. At Luca we endeavour to find 'the solution for school sport' which is only fair to the next generation. In Nick's words: 'What is the technology that's accessible?' 'What tools can we put into the hands of: school masters, headmistresses, the volunteers at local rugby clubs?' 'Let's build tech that people can afford to use.' At Luca, we are doing all that and more. If you are a Director of Sport, Sport's Coach, Headteacher, School Bursar or anyone else who wants to know more about what we do, then don't hesitate to contact us. ✍ Thanks to Sam for the event and we look forward to being continuously involved in plenty more in the future, shaping the future of concussion management. 🧠

Check out our co-founder & CEO, Nick Greenhalgh, speaking at a 'future of school sport' event at St Paul's School last week. Here is a quick snippet where Nick shares his thoughts on what we're building at Luca, and why, to best support schools, protect pupils and make sport safer. Onwards!

We still have a handful of tickets left for this evening - kickoff is 6:30pm at St Paul's School in Barnes, west London. Some of the brightest minds from the medical world will be outlining the head injury problem in sport and then I, alongside some fellow entrepreneurs, and pro athletes, will be sharing what we can do about it and how we can grow sports like rugby that are currently struggling for relevance. Message me if you'd like to come and I'll ping you a complimentary ticket 🙂 Mike Loosemore, Bill Ribbans, Dr Lisa Ryan (RNutr), Sam Peters, Alison Kervin OBE, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, David Bartlett, Sam Smith, Cath Bishop, Neil Rollings

Run Nick, run! Head For Change is doing amazing work to support those struggling due to the effects of head knocks - pls do try and support them if you can.

Come along and hear from our co-founder Nick Greenhalgh and other excellent panellists from the medical world, pro sport and the media. They'll be sharing insights on the future of school sport and what can be done to make it safer and remain fit for purpose.

Great to be back at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) running an entrepreneurship workshop with year 12s from Alleyn's School. Awesome to share what we're doing at Luca Health to empower schools to deliver their sports programmes with confidence in this high scrutiny head injury environment they now all operate in. It's amazing how interested kids are in startups. Social media gets a lot of flack, often justifiably, but thanks to it, and other mediums like podcasts and audiobooks, means they're already exposed to so much and know exactly what to ask! Highlight of the session was being told that concussion is 'washed' 🤷♂️ My apparently vacant look was quickly followed by an explanation that 'washed' means rubbish or bad. So there you go millennial linkedIn, you're welcome, a new word to help keep you young and hip on this sunny Wednesday 😎 Big thanks to Kate Goff, Alice Eddie and the rest of the LSE Generate team!

Awesome to be a part of this event. Excited to hear Luca co-founder Nick Greenhalgh speak alongside some brilliant folks from the sports and medical worlds. Bag a ticket before they're gone.
