CONTEMPLAS develops video-based movement analysis with its TEMPLO® software as well as force plates. Via a bidirectional connection to the Device Connector, the Datico® LIFE HUB requests examinations through Order-Entry and receives the results – both discrete measurement values and finished reports – fully automated.

Challenge

Movement and force diagnostics deliver high-quality but isolated results: examinations have to be triggered manually, results transferred by hand and reports stored separately – with media discontinuities between diagnostics, analysis and reporting.

Solution

Via a bidirectional interface to the Device Connector, Datico® requests examinations from the CONTEMPLAS system through Order-Entry and receives the results fully automated – both the discrete analysis values and the associated reports.

Result

A continuous, automated workflow from placing the order to delivering the result: individual values for custom analysis and finished reports for customer output become a solid basis for decisions.

CONTEMPLAS integration: request diagnostics, receive results automatically

By integrating CONTEMPLAS, the Datico® LIFE HUB expands its capabilities in movement and force diagnostics. What makes it special: the integration is bidirectional. Via Order-Entry, Datico® actively requests examinations from the CONTEMPLAS system and then receives the results fully automated – as discrete measurement values and as finished reports.

This turns a diagnostic system into a fully integrated building block of a central health and performance intelligence platform.

What is CONTEMPLAS?

CONTEMPLAS GmbH, based in Kempten in the Allgäu region of Germany, develops and distributes video-based movement analysis software and systems. At the core of the solution is the software TEMPLO® for markerless motion analysis.

The range extends from gait, running and swimming analysis through jump and sprint-start analysis to functional screening and 3D markerless movement analysis. It is complemented by technology add-ons such as multi-camera systems, force and pressure measurement, and EMG. CONTEMPLAS has been on the market for around two decades and is used worldwide.

Challenge: making diagnostic results usable end to end

Movement and force diagnostics deliver high-quality but often isolated results. In practice, the end-to-end connection is frequently missing: examinations have to be triggered manually, results transferred manually, and reports stored separately. This costs time and creates media discontinuities between diagnostics, analysis and reporting.

Especially in demanding operational environments, a continuous, automated data flow is decisive – from placing the order to the finished result.

The Datico® solution: bidirectional integration via the Device Connector

The integration is realized via a corresponding interface to the Device Connector of the Datico® LIFE HUB – bidirectional and largely automated.

Via Order-Entry, Datico® issues specific orders to the CONTEMPLAS system. After the examination is performed, the results are returned fully automated: the discrete analysis values as well as the associated reports. Both are immediately available in the Datico® LIFE HUB for further analysis and for output to the customer.

The integration follows the thread of the Datico® Data Value Chain: data is connected (Data in Connection), transformed into insights (Data in Context), made available in an understandable way (Data in Communication) and managed in a privacy-compliant and vendor-independent manner (Data in Consistency).

Added value through analysis

The real benefit comes from combined analysis. In the Datico® LIFE HUB, the results of movement and force diagnostics can be combined with additional medical, performance-related and wearable-based parameters.

Because not only finished reports but also the discrete individual values are transferred, custom analyses, scores and trends can be implemented and results compared with stored reference values. This turns individual diagnostic sessions into a solid, trend-capable basis for decisions.

Application in practice

In a demanding project, CONTEMPLAS systems were connected in a comparatively complex form at a military special unit. A split force plate and a 2D movement analysis system were integrated, the latter used for both jump analysis and force diagnostics.

Via the Order-Entry solution, the examinations are requested from within the Datico® LIFE HUB and the results – discrete values as well as reports – are returned fully automated. This creates a continuous, efficient workflow from placing the order to delivering the result.

Relevance for tactical forces and elite sport

For tactical forces and elite and competitive sport, such an integration is particularly valuable: jump and force diagnostics provide key metrics for resilience, performance and operational readiness. When these results are merged in a structured way in the Datico® LIFE HUB, developments can be documented objectively, assessed individually and incorporated into interdisciplinary decisions.

The focus is not on the individual diagnostic system, but on the continuous, automated availability of results for analysis, documentation and decision support.

Conclusion

The integration of CONTEMPLAS shows how movement and force diagnostics become a continuously integrated, automated process. Via the bidirectional Order-Entry interface to the Device Connector, Datico® requests examinations and receives results and reports fully automated – ready for analysis and for output to the customer.

This turns individual diagnostic results into a solid basis for decisions – a consistent step toward Better Data. Better Decisions. Better Outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Are CONTEMPLAS systems compatible with the Datico® LIFE HUB?

Yes. CONTEMPLAS systems can be connected to the Device Connector of the Datico® LIFE HUB via a bidirectional interface.

Bidirectional means: Datico® not only receives results but can also actively request examinations from the CONTEMPLAS software via Order-Entry. This turns a single diagnostic system into a fully integrated building block of a central health and performance intelligence platform.

What exactly does the Order-Entry integration mean for CONTEMPLAS?

Via Order-Entry, the Datico® LIFE HUB issues orders to the CONTEMPLAS system – that is, specific examination or test requests.

After the examination is performed, the CONTEMPLAS system returns the results fully automated, in two forms:

  • the discrete analysis values for further analysis
  • the associated finished reports for output to the customer

Both are then immediately available in the Datico® LIFE HUB. This creates a continuous workflow from placing the order to delivering the result, without examinations having to be triggered manually or results transferred by hand.

Which CONTEMPLAS systems can be connected?

Among others, the video-based movement analysis systems and force plates from CONTEMPLAS can be connected. At the core of the CONTEMPLAS solution is the markerless motion analysis software TEMPLO®, whose range extends from gait, running and swimming analysis through jump and sprint-start analysis to functional screening.

In one realized project, for example, a split force plate and a 2D movement analysis system were integrated, the latter used for both jump analysis and force diagnostics. Which systems are connected in a given case depends on the specific use case and the system configuration.

Are the reports transferred as well, not just individual measurement values?

Yes. Via the interface, both the discrete analysis results and the complete reports are returned.

This is a decisive difference: in the Datico® LIFE HUB, the individual values are available for further analysis – such as custom scores, trends and comparisons with reference values – as are the finished reports for direct output to the customer. The results therefore do not remain in the manufacturer's software but become fully reusable.

For which use cases is the integration particularly relevant?

The integration is particularly relevant for data-driven performance and movement diagnostics – for example in the field of tactical forces as well as in elite and competitive sport, but also in sports medicine and rehabilitation.

Wherever jump, movement and force diagnostics are to be embedded in an overarching data context, a high added value emerges. Jump and force diagnostics provide key metrics for resilience, performance and operational readiness; when these are merged in a structured way in the Datico® LIFE HUB, developments can be documented objectively and incorporated into interdisciplinary decisions.

Can CONTEMPLAS data be combined with other data sources?

Yes. In the Datico® LIFE HUB, the results of movement and force diagnostics can be viewed together with additional medical, performance-related or wearable-based parameters.

Because not only finished reports but also the discrete individual values are available, custom analyses, scores and trends can be implemented and results compared with stored reference values. This turns individual examinations into a solid, trend-capable basis for data-driven decisions.

How automated is the data exchange with CONTEMPLAS?

The exchange is largely automated: Datico® requests the examination via Order-Entry, the CONTEMPLAS system performs it and returns the results and reports fully automated.

This significantly reduces manual steps and media discontinuities between diagnostics, analysis and reporting. Especially in demanding operational environments, such a continuous, automated data flow is decisive – from placing the order to the finished result. This turns individual diagnostic sessions into a solid basis for decisions: **Better Data. Better Decisions. Better Outcomes.**
