Athla designs software for digital health, fitness, and athletic performance. Athla’s flagship release, Velocity, is the world's first completely hands-free speed radar app for sports which puts all the precision of a professional speed radar onto an iOS device. Velocity calibrates to within +/- 0.7 mph of the Stalker II Pro, a $1,200 speed radar used by over 30 professional teams. Athla is led by Mike Gillam, MD, a physician focused on digital health who trained, practiced, and taught emergency medicine at Northwestern University, helped build companies acquired by WebMD and Microsoft, and served as a partner level executive in Microsoft and founding director of the Microsoft Healthcare Innovation Lab.
