Inspiration
Professional athletes dedicate their lives to performance, yet their careers often end too soon — averaging just 10 to 12 years in Australia. The causes? Chronic stress, overtraining, and injury — often tied to elevated cortisol levels and overlooked well-being.
Our team saw a clear need: a proactive tool to predict and prevent burnout before it happens. This inspired us to build CortiTrack — an AI-powered performance and wellness platform designed to help athletes train smarter, recover faster, and compete longer.
What it does
CortiTrack connects with wearables to track key health metrics such as stress levels, heart rate, sleep quality, and blood oxygen in real time.
It delivers role-specific dashboards for:
- Athletes, to manage their own health and training goals
- Coaches, to monitor team-wide performance and adjust training
- Healthcare providers, to access health insights and intervene early
- Admins, to manage roles and maintain system integrity
The platform uses AI to analyze patterns, flag risks, and recommend personalized actions — helping teams avoid burnout and extend career longevity.
How we built it
We developed CortiTrack using Bolt, focusing on:
- A modular front-end design for four user types
- Simulated real-time data feeds for wearable metrics
- AI-driven logic to provide trends and training recommendations
- Clean, responsive UI/UX for intuitive user journeys
Our approach emphasized seamless integration and scalability — ensuring CortiTrack can grow with real biosensor inputs in the future.
## Challenges we ran into
- Designing tailored experiences for four distinct user roles while maintaining a unified system
- Simulating realistic, dynamic health data in a short time frame
- Balancing clinical accuracy with user simplicity in UI design
- Ensuring the AI logic provided helpful, not overwhelming, recommendations
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Successfully built a full-stack, multi-role platform within the hackathon window
- Created AI-driven dashboards with meaningful insights, not just raw data
- Delivered a polished prototype that feels ready for pilot testing
- Brought together sport science, mental health, and technology in one unified tool
What we learned
- The critical role that mental and physiological data plays in athlete health
- How to map real-world user needs into effective digital experiences
- That simplicity in design is powerful — especially in high-performance environments
- The value of strong team collaboration under pressure
What's next for CortiTrack
We’re excited to continue building CortiTrack beyond the hackathon by:
- Integrating real biosensor data (e.g. sweat cortisol, ECG)
- Adding predictive analytics using machine learning
- Testing with local sports teams and healthcare providers
- Exploring partnerships with sports institutes and wearable tech companies
Our vision is clear: a smarter, safer, and longer-lasting career for every athlete.
