About Us

Who We Are

SonicBone has developed a cutting edge ultrasound technology – BAUSportTM, the first and only ultrasound device for assessing skeletal age, biological maturation state, injury prevention and prediction of final adult height of Youth Athletes.

BAUSport™ is being utilized in Sports Science and Medical departments across a variety of sports around the world. The information BAUSport provides is impacting the design, implementation and evaluation of training programs for young athletes.

Evaluation and monitoring of Growth and Maturation was never this easy!

Redefining the Future of Sport

BAUSport™ is playing a significant role in the maximizing the potential of the next generation of athletes
What We Do

BAUSport™ Applications

BAUSport™ serves as an important supportive tool for sports’ coaches, physicians, scientists & other Practitioners, enabling them to apply scientifically-based criteria for:

Talent Identification & Selection

Improving accuracy and reliability through maturation assessments of young athletes.

Determination of Maturation Timing & Status

Identifying Early / On-Time / Late maturers as well as pre / post / circum puberty stages

Skill Development

Monitoring the impact of growth and maturation and adjusting training programs accordingly

Reducing Injury Risks

Identifying when athletes enter maturation stages associated with heightened injury risks and reducing training loads.

Final Adult Height Prediction

Based on real time, individual measurement for selecting best positional fit

Evaluation on Routine Basis

Radiation-free measurements enabling safe, routine evaluation of Skeletal Age

Bio-Banding

Adjusting training programs/competitions according to maturation stages

BAUSport™ Unique Features

What Makes Us Special

Performs measurements on three sites on the left hand, completed in 4 minutes per test

Predicting peak height velocity stage for reducing training load and preventing injury risks

Portable, user friendly device, no special training required

Performing a safe, non-invasive test, based on AI generated algorithm, digital results obtained in real time

Determining current % of predicted adult height

Reducing the risk of overlooking the talented, late-developer, thus overcoming the “Maturation Bias” in youth sports

Enabling informed decision making in talent identification, training design, injury prevention and ongoing selection

Impacting and changing the design and implementation of training and conditioning programs

Valid for all racial & ethnic populations

Separate data and algorithm for boys and girls, aged 4 -19

Generating incredible financial benefits to sports' clubs and organizations

BAUSport™ allows for ongoing maturation assessment for under 20 Euro per player, per season

Testimonials

"The results of this project suggest that the BAUSport system can serve as a valid and reliable predictor of biological maturation in youth… In comparison to other established methods for determining skeletal age in youth (i.e., TW2-3 Greulich-Pyle), the BAUSport method performed as well, if not better. Accordingly, it can be argued that in comparison to existing methods, the BAUSport method serves as an equally valid and reliable (if not more) measure of skeletal age".
Dr. Sean CummingProfessor in Paediatric Exercise Science, Department for Health, University of Bath UK
“After measuring hundreds and hundreds of our academy players, we find the BAUSport device extremely helpful in assessing the skeletal age of young players and especially in identifying the late and early developers”
Paul SchaffranHead of Sports Science, Borussia Dortmund FC, Germany
” The BAUSport system provides a reasonable non-invasive indicator of skeletal maturity that is moderately associated with the percentage of predicted adult height derived from the Khamis-Roche method".
Dr. Sascha HärtelHead of Performance Diagnostics & Science Coordination, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim Akademie, Germany
“The attempt to develop an ultrasound device to determine Bone Age Assessment is revolutionary and can be considered to be an incredible scientific achievement and providing great clinical advantage”
Prof. Matitiahu Berkovitch MD, PediatricianDepartment of pediatrics, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Israel. Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Israel. Former president of the Israeli association of Pediatricians
“SonicBone ultrasound-based solution is an important tool for assessing child’s Bone Age and development. It can provide physicians with an important marker which enables routine evaluation of children’s biological age”
Prof. Zvi Laron MD – Pediatric EndocrinologistFounded and headed the Institute of Endocrinology at Schneider Children’s hospital Petach-Tikva, Israel 2009 ‘Israel Prize’ Laureate for Medical Research in Endocrinology.
"We appreciate working with the BAUSport device, we have found – among others - excellent reliabilities. Next year, we will have the chance to use it in a larger DFB project on the influence of maturity status on talent identification and development procedures on the youth elite soccer level"
Daniel Leyhr, PhDJunior Research Group Lead, Institute of Sports Science, University of Tübingen, Germany
"A massive thanks to Sonicbone Medical for sharing their game-changing technology with us. I'm really excited by this product, and was amazed by the speed at which the Skeletal Age assessment by ultrasound can be conducted and the data provided. This has huge implications for our work in the LATD space"
James BakerCo-founder & director of the LTAD (The Long Term Athletic Development) Network, S&C coach at the Aspire Academy in Doha, Qatar. PE teacher, sport scientist and researcher.
"BAUSport is an absolute fantastic tool, offering so many new opportunities to measure biological maturity within the applied high-performance setting. We are fortunate to have one at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim academy"
Ludwig RufStrength and Conditioning Coach TSG 1899 Hoffenheim e.V.; Researcher TSG ResearchLab, Germany
"Really awesome to see the Sonicbone team conduct a live growth and maturation assessment with my 10-year-old son at the @latdnetwork UK conference. It took less than 5 mins and the results were provided instantly: Skeletal Age, Adult Predicted Height, %PAH etc."
James BakerCo-founder & director of the LTAD (The Long Term Athletic Development) Network, S&C coach and Performance Support Lead at the Aspire Academy in Doha, Qatar. PE teacher, sport scientist and researcher.
" BAUSport tech is a game-changer! It Bone scans your whole academy in a morning!!!

“We have found a lot of value in the SonicBone device so far and are interested in purchasing an additional device”
Catherine FieldsManager International Scouting, Houston Astros - Baseball
“It was an excellent starting point for our bio-banding work.. It has started some great conversations between players, parents and coaches. The wider use of growth and maturation data across the youth and school game has already gotten underway.. Our new BAUSport device will support this, and is now available for wider use.”
