Code Blooded, a team from Sundargarh, Odisha, is developing ParaSync, an AI-powered platform intended to analyse smartphone videos of para-athletes. Samsung says the team is among the Top 20 in its Solve for Tomorrow 2026 programme. The team members named in the announcement are Vatala Harila and Ritesh Routray.
What ParaSync is intended to do
The proposed platform would use video recorded on smartphones to assess an athlete’s sporting technique and track progress. The team also hopes it can help connect para-athletes from underserved regions with scouts, creating more routes for talent to be noticed.
That makes the project’s focus both analytical and connective: it aims to derive sporting insights from recorded movement and help those insights reach people who identify athletes. Samsung’s announcement describes the intended functions, but does not specify which sports or techniques ParaSync will analyse, or how the system will assess performance.
A project still in development
ParaSync is described as being developed, rather than as a completed or deployed product. The announcement provides no results from testing with athletes, so its stated functions are best understood as the team’s goals for the platform. Its significance will depend on how well the analysis works in practice and whether it helps athletes and scouts use the resulting information.
Samsung’s post introduces Code Blooded and its project through a video about what reaching the programme’s Top 20 means to the team. It presents ParaSync as an effort to apply AI and smartphone video to para-sports, with the wider aim of opening new pathways for para-athletes.
