introduction
Formula Sports Medicine originates from a rich pedigree which is the Perth Integrated Health Group spanning some 42 years in medical / health care.
Ours has been a progressive journey with the focus on Neuromuscular and Spinal Muscular Care with the added emphasis on Human Biomechanics and Ergonomics.
In recent years and in the advent of better understanding and acceptance of Neuro Plasticity, we are also in the forefront with the workings of Cognition through our Brain & Cognition Clinic from which Formula Sports Medicine has spawned.
THE HERITAGE
The Perth Integrated Health Group was focusing already on Vehicle Ergonomics – adapting the machine to the human as early as 1993.
Our Vehicle Ergonomics program has seen our involvement in the set up of people to their passenger cars and to their work vehicles which has directly assisted with reducing the incident rate of spinal muscular conditions.
Our groundbreaking research on the Human / Computer interface in the mid-1990s also saw the importance of linking technology to the human requirements, which are now prevalent in modern vehicles where the reaction time, adaptation to multi-tasking as well as understanding depth perception between the road surface and technological equipment is now at a all time high requirement for the newer generation of drivers.
Our Founder, Ian Wee is no stranger to motor sports and while never competing officially in race capacities, we are already cognisant with the fundamentals of driving in his Mini Cooper era of race on airfields and the back rounds in Singapore. Ian has been active in the motor vehicle scene now for the past 40+ years with an established driven range of over 100 vehicles that he has owned over the same time space.
At present he is Founder and Owner for the Maserati Car Club of WA with his stable of Maserati vehicles as well as other marques that he maintains in his personal garage.
THE DRIVER
The technical and technology requirements of Driving with the new smart technology has seen many drivers distracted and identified by the authorities as the growing cause of motor vehicle accidents.
The reality of the matter is not the distraction but more the lack training on differential depth perception and also the ability to multitask, which are fundamental requirements of driving.
Here at Formula Sports Medicine, we have identified those requirements and drivers who are involved in our active program have developed many of these essential qualities:
1. Reaction Time improvement.
2. Better Eye Hand coordination.
3. Increased multi-tasking skills.
4. Improved depth perception.
5. Better sequencing and categorization of tasks and processes.
6. Faster speed outcomes.
7. Safer judgement calls when driving and in their surroundings.
8. Improved memory skills and abilities.
the program
Phase 1: 2-Dimensional Training
Phase 1: 2-Dimensional Training
Phase 1: 2-Dimensional Training
Using our patented Neuro Cognitive platforms, participants get to work with all of the above factorials over a period of 10 sessions.
These 10 sessions are either undertaken at x2 weekly over 5 weeks intervals or x1 weekly for 10 weeks, depending on the scale and intensity of what we identify their immediate needs are at.
Formula Sports Medicine is no different in the use of Cognitive strategies as in any medical centre where the immediate needs are triaged and a treatment plan provided to the participant by the Sports Medicine Team.
Phase 2: 3-Dimensional Training
Phase 1: 2-Dimensional Training
Phase 1: 2-Dimensional Training
After mastery of 2-D techniques, we bring the Driver to the real-world indices with Dynamic Treatment systems that places them in motion while they achieve and build upon the above indices.
Dynamic stability is created using once again the patented technology which we have been instrumental in building for the past 18 years.

In Phase 2, when chosen the program is again for a total of 10 sessions and again undertaken at the discretion of the Driver either x 2 weekly over 5 weeks or x 1 weekly over 10 weeks.
MEASURED EXPECTATION
Phase 1
Phase 1
Phase 1
Training is regarded as the Basic Driver Cognition Training program
and in itself provides the baseline requirements for improvement.
Phase 2
Phase 1
Phase 1
Training is regarded as the Intermediate Driver Cognition Training program where all of the identified indices and measures in Phase 1 should be enhanced and improved further.
VEHICULAR PROVISIONs
Entry to this Driver Cognitive Training Program can come from multiple sources
Not limited to the following:
1. Use of own vehicle for self-evaluation and improvement.
2. Use of Arise Racing Radical vehicles.
3. Application of standing in Driver’s identified Club.
4. Pathways through Performance Driving including Go-Karting
