Binovi Technologies Corp (CVE:VISN) (OTCQB:BNVIF) announced its vision technology products are being used by the John McEnroe Tennis Academy.
Founded by tennis Hall of Famer John McEnroe, the academy’s training camps are specifically designed for players competing in or striving to compete in USTA Sectional, USTA National and ITF tournaments, and those interested in playing high-school tennis, college tennis and beyond.
In a statement from Binovi, the program’s vision training doctor Anne Hanna said that the technology is “excellent for peripheral vision, saccadic eye movements, fine motor, and cognition.”

“The athletes really enjoy the exercises as well and feel the skills derived from training transfer nicely to their game,” Hanna said.
“In my opinion, Binovi Touch is a necessity for anyone in the vision training field. Even people with 20/20 eyesight and healthy eyes can experience serious difficulties with everyday actions like reading, writing, and moving around in space: functional vision includes proper eye teaming, eye focusing, eye movements, and the visual processing of information.”
Binovi told investors that its ongoing product development will “continue to deliver innovations that will help drive athlete's performance and resonate with athletes operating at all levels of the performance scale.”
CEO Adam Cegielski said that high-performance athletes look for new ways of gaining a competitive advantage.
“…(I)nnovative, vision-based performance enhancement methodologies in sports like tennis, where hand-eye coordination is beyond crucial, can be very significant. Small increases in key vision skills such as reaction time and accuracy will translate into huge gains in competitiveness, and financial returns. This is where Binovi shines and what our solutions used by JMTA are focused on.”
Toronto-based Binovi’s platform combines software (Binovi Pro + Binovi Coach), hardware (Binovi Touch), data, expert knowledge (Binovi Academy), delivering customized, one-on-one training and learning protocols to help patients, K-12 students, and athletes on a global scale.
