Ensuring Availability of Player Health Information

To safeguard player health, you must ensure that accurate and up-to-date health information, documents, and media assets are readily available. This data is essential for effective medical management, injury prevention, and informed decision-making.

In SAP Sports One, Health Attachments play a crucial role in maintaining a complete and accurate health record for every player. As you know, SAP Sports One provides comprehensive media management functionalities, allowing you to define dedicated attachment folders and build a centralized media repository for clubs, teams, and players.

However, in the medical and health context, stricter rules apply regarding data security and data privacy. For this reason, health attachments can only be accessed by users with the role of Physiotherapist. In addition, you need to initially enable the health attachments in your SAP Sports One system. For enabling health attachments, you need the role of Data Security Officer. Once the role is assigned to your user, you can navigate to Data Security → Security Settings to enable or disable the Health Attachments section on player profiles.

By storing medical documents and media elements directly within SAP Sports One, medical staff ensure all relevant player information is centralized and easily accessible. This eliminates fragmented data, supports a seamless workflow between doctors, physiotherapists, and performance analysts, and ensures compliance with privacy regulations.

To use the Health Attachments section, navigate to the player’s profile and select Health → Health Attachments. In this section, you can now upload attachments directly to the player’s medical profile. Please note that you can also utilize the media functionalities of SAP Sports One, as covered in the other learning course, such as tagging and organizing items.

In summary, health attachments are an essential component of player health management, allowing medical teams to document all relevant files directly on the player while controlling access based on user roles.

However, ensuring the availability of player health information goes beyond storing documents and media items. Medical staff also require structured access to key health details such as existing medical conditions, vaccination history, allergies, nutrition, and other relevant information. Ideally, this data should be maintained directly on the Player Profile for faster access. SAP Sports One supports this through the Custom Profile Pages and Additional Attributes, allowing clubs to capture player-specific health information in a structured and flexible way and build a more complete and personalized health profile for each athlete.

The following video provides a step-by-step guide on how to manage additional personal attributes in the Admin section of SAP Sports One and how they appear in a person's profile.

As demonstrated in the video, additional attributes are versatile and can be applied to team management or other functional areas. You can now use these attributes specifically to document health and medical data. The following example illustrates how a player profile appears when all medical information is fully documented.

In summary, using health attachments for documents and media items, combined with additional attributes for structured medical information, provides a powerful foundation for ensuring the availability of all player health information. This represents the first step toward building a truly holistic, 360-degree view of each player’s health.
