From 17-25 June 2023, over 7,000 Special Olympics athletes from 190 countries will gather in Berlin to compete at the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023 (“Games”), the world's largest inclusive sports event for people with intellectual disabilities. As part of the Games, the Healthy Athletes® program will be offering free health screenings and education in seven categories – vision and eye health, audiology, dentistry, prevention and nutrition, emotional health, physical therapy, and podiatry – to all athletes in an accessible and welcoming environment.
As a partner, Qmatic will support Healthy Athletes® by offering check-in and queuing solutions that streamline the process and enable timely completion of essential health screenings, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for all participating athletes.
“At World Games, every second counts, and we are all about solutions that ensure that no athlete's time is unnecessarily spent in queues,” said Annemarie Hill, Special Olympics Senior Vice President, Global Health Operations. “With support from Qmatic, we commit to creating a smooth process, allowing the focus to remain on essential Healthy Athletes screenings rather than administrative logistics. This allows us to create a seamless experience that prioritizes athletes' health and well-being.”
"We are proud to partner with Special Olympics and support their important work to improve the health and well-being of athletes with intellectual disabilities," said Mikael Hedlöf, President and CEO of Qmatic. "As a company committed to creating a world where everyone can access the services they need, we look forward to leveraging our technology to facilitate the check-in and queuing process and ensure that every athlete receives the health screenings they need during this amazing week."
