NFL Alumni Health Taps Datavault AI's ADIO® for Health-Focused and Interactive Web 3.0 Activations During Draft Week Event
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.

Giants WR Malik Nabers returns to practice after minor back injury kept him out for nearly 2 weeks
Malik Nabers is back on the field with the New York Giants. After missing 12 straight days and the team's first two preseason games with an apparent back issue, Nabers was spotted practicing with the franchise on Tuesday. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Though he returned, Nabers was extremely limited on the field. He participated in individual drills, and then spent time off to the side on an elliptical machine, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Nabers missed nearly two weeks while dealing with what was described as 'normal camp tightness' in his back. The Giants, however, declined to get into any specifics about Nabers' injury. That led to plenty of speculation amid his prolonged absence. 'Not going to get into any injuries,' head coach Brian Daboll said last week. [Nabers is] working hard to get back.' It's unclear how long it will take Nabers to work up to full strength, but Tuesday's appearance was a good first start. The Giants will play their final preseason game on Thursday, so it's very likely that Nabers will miss that contest and instead focus on their season-opener against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 7. Nabers had 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 109 catches last season, his first in the league after the Giants took him with the No. 6 overall pick out of LSU. The Giants went just 3-14, however, and is now regrouping with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson leading the team this fall. The Giants also had left tackle Andrew Thomas and running back Cam Skattebo return to practice from their respective injuries on Tuesday. Skattebo, who the team took in the fourth round of the NFL Draft earlier this year, has been battling a hamstring injury in recent weeks. Thomas underwent Lisfranc surgery on his foot last season, and has been on the PUP list since the start of the summer.

Dolphins make Matthew Judon's signing official and add cornerback Cameron Dantzler Sr.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins made their signing of Pro Bowl outside linebacker Matthew Judon official Tuesday after working out the veteran the day prior and added cornerback depth by signing veteran Cameron Dantzler Sr. Judon adds another skilled player to an already deep edge rushing unit that includes Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson. Phillips and Chubb are returning this season from serious knee injuries, and Robinson is coming off a promising rookie year. Judon had 41 tackles, 5 1/2 sacks and an interception returned for a touchdown in 15 starts for the Atlanta Falcons last year. He played the first five seasons of his career with Baltimore and had a three-year stint with New England. Dantzler was a third-round pick by the Vikings in 2020 and had 149 tackles and three interceptions in three seasons with Minnesota, but he has not played football since the 2023 season with New Orleans. The Saints signed him to their practice squad and he appeared in two games that season. He hasn't played in the NFL since then — instead signing with the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger Cats in 2024. He played for the United Football League's Memphis Showboats earlier this season. Dantzler will compete for a cornerback spot on a roster that lacks a standout star, though the Dolphins have added a couple other veterans this offseason in Mike Hilton Jr. and Jack Jones. Second-year cornerback Storm Duck and rookie Jason Marshall Jr. are also on the roster. Cam Smith, Isaiah Johnson, Ethan Bonner and Kendall Sheffield are among those who are competing for spots as well. Also Tuesday, Miami waived wide receiver Tarik Black and punter Ryan Stonehouse, who was beat out by Jake Bailey in the punting battle. ___ AP NFL:

Nasdaq tumbles as Jackson Hole jitters hit tech stocks
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 slid on Tuesday driven by tech stocks, as investors gear up for what Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell will say about the path of interest rates at a key conference later in the week. The Nasdaq fell as megacaps lost, after having rallied for much of the year. Nvidia fell 3.5%, the biggest drop in nearly four months. The key event this week is the Fed's annual symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, from Aug. 21-23, where Powell's comments will be scrutinized for any clues on the central bank's outlook on the economy and monetary policy. 'It seems like folks are hedging a little going into Jackson Hole, thinking Powell might be more hawkish than markets currently appreciate,' said James Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group. Interest rate futures point to a total of two rate cuts this year worth 25 basis points each, with the first expected in September, according to data compiled by LSEG. Some market participants also expressed some concerns about AI-related stocks after OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman said they are in a bubble in an interview with 'The Verge' late last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 10.45 points, roughly flat, to 44,922.27, the S&P 500 lost 37.78 points, or 0.59%, to 6,411.37 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 314.82 points, or 1.46%, to 21,314.95. Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, said some investors are taking some profits from tech stocks and rotating into other sectors. '(This move) spills into the broader market because of those stocks' weight in major indices,' he added. Still, six of the S&P 500 sectors rose. Real estate led the pack, up 1.8%, helped by better-than-expected housing data. On the other hand, technology and communications services lost over 1.9% and 1.2%, respectively. A Reuters poll showed on Tuesday that the S&P 500 will end 2025 just below current near-record levels, at 6,300 points, reflecting tempered optimism amid ongoing concerns over the economic impact of President Donald Trump's global tariffs and uncertainty surrounding Fed rate cuts. The blue-chip Dow briefly hit a record high on Tuesday, aided by a rise in Home Depot's shares after the retailer kept its annual forecasts intact. Home Depot rose 3.17% despite missing quarterly results estimates, while rival home-improvement chain Lowe's also gained 2.18%. Earnings from Lowe's and big-box retailers Walmart and Target later this week are now in focus as investors await more insight on the health of the American consumer. 'Consumers are still not really spending at full speed ahead, they're a little bit cautious,' said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities. 'They're waiting to see the full results of the tariffs' impact on the upcoming holiday sales in a couple of months from now.' Intel jumped roughly 7% after the chipmaker got a $2 billion capital injection from Japan's SoftBank Group. Palo Alto Networks rose 3.06% after the cybersecurity company forecast fiscal 2026 revenue and profit above estimates. Medtronic lost 3.13%, after the company said it would add two new directors to its board after Elliott Investment Management took a large stake in the medical-device maker. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.06-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. There were 205 new highs and 62 new lows on the NYSE. The S&P 500 posted 13 new 52-week highs and one new low while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 56 new highs and 88 new lows.
