NFL Alumni Health Taps Datavault AI's ADIO® for Health-Focused and Interactive Web 3.0 Activations During Draft Week Event
ADIO® Tones Delivered AI-Powered Live Audience Engagement and Health Messaging During 2025 NFL Draft
Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT), leading the way in AI data experience, valuation and monetization, announces its continued collaboration with NFL Alumni Health at the organization's 16th Annual Draft Week event on April 24, 2025. The initiative featured Datavault AI's patented ADIO® tone technology in two unique capacities: delivering interactive tones in sync with the top draft picks during the official watch party and sending geo-targeted health messages across the broader event to raise awareness around cardiovascular risks facing former athletes.
As each selection was made, attendees received inaudible tones tied to that athlete's announcement, delivering player-specific information and showcasing how ADIO® can enable interactive fan experiences directly from key event moments. This demonstration highlighted the potential of tone-triggered engagement to deepen audience connection without requiring screens or manual input—marking a shift toward seamless, ambient interaction in the Web 3.0 environment. In parallel, ADIO® delivered discreet, opt-in tones across the venue that linked directly to cardiovascular health education curated by NFL Alumni Health—providing a non-intrusive way to deliver critical resources during one of the year's most watched sporting occasions.
"NFL Alumni Health is committed to innovating how we engage players and the public on issues like heart health," said Billy Davis, two-time Super Bowl champion and co-director of NFL Alumni Health. "ADIO® offers a direct line to attendees in a way that's immediate and unobtrusive—exactly the kind of technology we need to elevate the reach and resonance of our mission."
"Datavault AI is setting a benchmark for AI-powered audience engagement with ADIO®, particularly in high-visibility events where real-time interaction matters most. As adoption grows across sports, healthcare and live entertainment, this technology is rapidly proving its value," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "Deployments at marquee events like NFL Draft Week further validate our position in the market, demonstrating how AI-driven engagement can deliver both immediate impact and scalable long-term monetization opportunities."
Cardiovascular disease remains a critical issue among former NFL players, with studies showing significantly higher health risks compared to the general population. Research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that 89.8% of retired NFL athletes suffer from hypertension, yet only 37.5% are aware of their condition.1 In large-scale event environments, audience engagement often drops off sharply without compelling, interactive elements. ADIO® addresses both challenges—enabling dynamic health messaging without reliance on visual or manual prompts while simultaneously demonstrating how key event milestones can anchor Web 3.0 monetization.
Datavault AI's ADIO® tone system is engineered to operate across mobile, broadcast, streaming and in-venue environments. It embeds metadata into high-frequency, inaudible signals that can be programmed for numerous outcomes—ranging from in-event polling to digital asset unlocks. This dual utility aligns with Web 3.0's decentralization ethos: giving users control while enabling institutions to quantify engagement and generate authenticated data yield in real time.
ADIO® continues to gain momentum across major sporting and entertainment venues where attention windows are narrow and digital fatigue is high. Its ability to deliver programmable tones that don't interrupt the user experience positions it as a next-generation solution for both brand activation and cause-driven communication. With ADIO®, fan interaction becomes a touchpoint that's trackable, secure and tied directly to monetizable endpoints.
As demand for interactive engagement surges, AI-powered tools are emerging as indispensable assets for organizations aiming to maximize audience connection. "This event presents a compelling opportunity to merge Datavault AI's technology with a mission that directly impacts former players and their communities," said Sonia Choi, CMO at Datavault AI. "ADIO® is making it possible to deliver critical health information in ways that encourage not just awareness but participation."
Datavault AI's collaboration with NFL Alumni Health demonstrates how innovative technologies can change audience interaction at major live events. The partnership with NFL Alumni Health on the Draft Week stage exemplifies the impact and potential of technologies like ADIO®, which continues to create new opportunities for monetization and strategic partnerships.
