NFL Alumni Health Taps Datavault AI's ADIO® for Health-Focused and Interactive Web 3.0 Activations During Draft Week Event
BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

Is Nvidia stock a massive bargain — or a massive value trap?
AI has transformed demand for computer chips and the most obvious beneficiary of that has been Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). With a stock market capitalization of $3.4trn, Nvidia might not seem like an obvious bargain. But what if it is really worth that much – or potentially a lot more? I have been keen to add some Nvidia stock to my portfolio, but I do not want to overpay. After all, Nvidia has shot up 1,499% in five years! So, here is what I am doing. For some companies in which I have invested in the past, from Reckitt to Burberry, I have benefited as an investor from a market being mature. Sales of detergent or pricy trenchcoats may grow over time, but they are unlikely to shoot up year after year. That is because those firms operate in mature markets. On top of that, as they are large and long-established, it is hard for them to grow by gaining substantial market share. So, market maturity has helped me as an investor because it has made it easier for me to judge what I think the total size of a market for a product or service may be – and how much of it the company in question looks likely to have in future. Chips, by contrast, are different. Even before AI, this was still a fast-growing industry – and AI has added fuel to that fire. On top of that, Nvidia is something of a rarity. It is already a large company and generated $130bn in revenues last year. But it is not mature – rather, it continues to grow at a breathtaking pace. Its first-quarter revenue was 69% higher than in the same three months of last year. Those factors mean that it is hard to tell what Nvidia is worth. Clearly that is not only my opinion: the fact that Nvidia stock is 47% higher than in April suggests that the wider market is wrestling with the same problem. Could it be a value trap? It is possible. For example, chip demand could fall after the surge of recent years and settle down again at a much lower level. A lower cost rival could eat badly into Nvidia's market share. Trade disputes could see sales volumes fall. With a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 46, just a few things like that going wrong could mean today's Nvidia stock price ends up looking like a value trap. On the other hand, think about those first-quarter growth rates. If Nvidia keeps doing as well, let alone better, its earnings could soar. In that case, the prospective P/E ratio based on today's share price could be low and the current share price a long-term bargain. I see multiple possible drivers for such an increase, such as more widespread adoption of AI and Nvidia launching even more advanced proprietary chip designs. So, I reckon the company could turn out to be either a massive bargain at today's price, or a massive value trap. The price does not offer me enough margin of safety for my comfort if the stock is indeed a value trap. So, I will wait for a more attractive valuation before buying.

New York Giants' Jaxson Dart says Brian Burns opened his eyes to NFL speed
New York Giants' Jaxson Dart says Brian Burns opened his eyes to NFL speed New York Giants first-round pick Jaxson Dart is wasting no time in making his presence known to the local media and the fans. On Friday night, Dart and his fellow Giants rookies took in the Yankees-Boston Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium. He was invited on the air by the Yankees' broadcast team of Michael Kay, David Cone, and Paul O'Neill. Dart explained how he came to be a Yankees fan and even showed a picture of himself as a young boy attending a game in the Bronx in 2008. Dart said he had played baseball as a kid and was on a travel team. He believes he could have been a major league player had he not devoted himself to football. Kay asked him if his No. 2 jersey in college had anything to do with another famous No. 2, Yankees Hall of Fame shortstop, Derek Jeter. "There's some ties to that. Are some ties to that. It's kind of crazy. But yeah, that was my, you know, my favorite athlete growing up," he said. Dart went on to say that the notion of playing in New York did not intimidate him but he did notice that the NFL players are a lot quicker than he has been used to. "Oh, yeah, I had my first, you know, I don't think I've had, like, my full experience of kind of seeing that, but I've had a little experience with Brian Burns chasing me," he said. "He had a read option play and just, you know, his ability to come to come back and chase me down was kind of crazy." Dart, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft out of Ole Miss, is heading into Giants camp the No. 3 quarterback behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston but could end up under center in a game at some point this season. "I think that when you come into a situation like this, first of all, I'm in a super special position to be able to learn from guys like Russ (Wilson), Jameis (Winston), and Tommy (DeVito), guys who have competed at the highest level," Dart said. "Russ winning the Super Bowl, and, you know, to kind of pick their brains each and every day has been awesome for me, especially for how young I am. But I think that my focus right now is to try to develop each and every day and do whatever I can to make the team better, and I just want to win. I can't stand losing, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes, to not let that happen. So whatever my role is, I'm gonna play the best way that I can."

New York Giants' Dexter Lawrence among stars 'on the radar' for potential new contract
New York Giants' Dexter Lawrence among stars 'on the radar' for potential new contract Star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is the engine that drives the New York Giants' defense. Though he still has three years remaining on the four-year, $87.5 million contract extension he signed during the 2023 offseason, there's a chance discussions of a new deal may arise sooner rather than later. When looking at the potential big deals coming down the pike, Anthony Holzman-Escareno of included Lawrence as a player who could be on the radar for a new deal following the 2025 campaign. Lawrence is the best interior defensive linemen this side of Chris Jones. Lawrence led the NFL in sacks through the first eight weeks of the 2024 season, despite being double-teamed at the league's highest rate (63.8%). He has three years remaining on his current deal, but if he can put together a dominant 2025 season, Lawrence is the type of building block you make sure to keep around and keep happy. Lawrence was firmly in the discussion for the Defensive Player of the Year Award before he suffered a season-ending elbow injury in Week 12. Per Pro Football Focus, Lawrence recorded 36 total pressures to go along with nine sacks and 16 QB hits. Over the next three seasons, Lawrence carries salary-cap hits of $23.7 million, $26.96 million, and $26.5 million, respectively, per Spotrac. A new deal may seem premature, but an extension could help the Giants free up some future money with Malik Nabers (after 2026) and Kayvon Thibodeaux likely seeking new contracts soon as well. If Lawrence continues to play at this elite level, which is possible for defensive tackles going into their 30s, there is certainly a conversation that will need to be had potentially after the 2025 season.
