In this Olympic season world will see the most innovative technology is been used in Games. From sensors that allow fans to monitor athletes’ heart rates in real time, to lap counters at the bottom of swimming lanes. Also an innovative cloud technology will be used for player’s medical care as well. What’s even more interesting is the way cloud technology is revolutionizing the way athletes eat, sleep, and train to improve their overall health, eliminate injury, and achieve optimum performance.

technology is been used in Games. From sensors that allow
fans to monitor athletes’ heart rates in real time, to lap
counters at the bottom of swimming lanes.
• Also an innovative cloud technology will be used for player’s
medical care as well. What’s even more interesting is the way
cloud technology is revolutionizing the way athletes eat, sleep,
and train to improve their overall health, eliminate injury, and
achieve optimum performance.
• In 2016 Rio Olympic world is going to use the technology
innovation in areas such as virtual reality, big data revolution,
advances in cloud computing technology improvement in
connectivity the proliferation of internet of things and
payment innovation.

4. • So for the first time in history of Olympics the games will be
using cloud technology to manage its IT services and other
operational activities. Main systems include sports
qualification, HR activities volunteer support and medical
support will be delved via cloud technology.
• The total IT budget for Rio 2016 is $1.5 billion but this time, all
systems related to management of the Game from HR to
sports entries and qualifications are in the cloud, reducing the
number of servers from 1,000 to 250

How Rio Olympics is
surrounded
by Technology:

7. • In Rio Sensor systems are being used in nearly every sport so
that in-venue spectators, viewers and supporters can judge for
themselves whether the athletes are higher faster and stronger
than before. This includes everything from smallest
measurements for archery and shooting competitions, laser
findings for golf, intelligent nets for volleyball and real-time
measurements for coaches and trainers.
• The City of Rio is using IoT is to help to transform the Porto
Maravilha region into an innovative and creative industry hub
by turning the entire area into a living lab. 15 smart services
are already up and running allowing citizens and visitors to
connect and engage more with the smarter city.

8. • At Rio 2016 Big Data and Data Analytics will be at the heart
of 19 days of impressive achievements across 42 sport
disciplines in 306 events. Vast real time data will be generated
across athletics, Cycling, Diving, Golf, Rowing, Tennis and
other events in fact, providing detailed insights into how
athletes are performing against their opponents. Data
Analytics has been used to target training, limit risk of injury,
understand boundaries, predict trends and select the right
teams.
• The Opening and Closing ceremonies will be broadcast
in UHD Virtual Reality, allowing viewers across the globe to
use VR Headset and experience these events from virtual
seats inside the stadium.

9. • As the official partners of the game Visa and Brazilian bank
Bradesco have launched ‘contactless bracelets’ enabling
visitors of the game to pay for goods and services that they
want with just show of their band. These bracelets use Near
Field Communications (NFC) technology and will be
compatible with all 4,000 payment terminals at venues
throughout the Games.
• One of the biggest fears of all athletes is to fall a victim to a
last minute injury. So in this Olympic cloud-based version of
GE Healthcare’s Centricity Practice Solutions (CPS) as the
official electronic medical records (EMR) keeper is been used
for medical purpose. Moving these records into the cloud
eliminates the need to transferring papers around the globe in
order to monitor athletes’ health.

10. 
From the demonstration of tech
innovation present at the
Olympic Games, it is clear that
Rio will satisfy one of the Olympics
three core values, which is that of
‘Excellence’.
