Oxford United's ARMS Health Transformation
Before partnering with EDGE10, Oxford United’s medical team was struggling with how they managed player health records.
Without a proper Electronic Health Record (EHR) system in place, they were relying on an analog approach securely saved across individual computers.
This meant staff couldn’t access key information remotely, and sharing important data across departments was difficult. The lack of a centralised hub also raised concerns around the security of confidential medical records and meeting legal requirements.
The team needed a way to centralise their data, improve workflows, and, ultimately, deliver better care to their athletes.

The Solution: EDGE10’s ARMS Health Platform
To solve these issues, Oxford United partnered with EDGE10 and adopted the ARMS Health platform.
This system provided a bespoke solution that centralised all of the club’s medical data and transformed how they tracked and managed player health.
With EDGE10’s platform, Oxford United gained access to:
- Daily Injury Reports
- Training Availability
- Player Profiles
- Injury and Longitudinal Analysis
- High-Impact Analysis
These tools enabled the medical staff to record injuries, illnesses, and recovery progress all in one place. The platform’s remote accessibility also meant they could securely update and access records from anywhere – whether at the training ground, on the coach, or even from home.
This flexibility revolutionised the way the medical department operated.
A More Efficient and Secure System
Oxford United quickly saw the benefits of the ARMS Health platform.
Amy Cranston, Head of Medical services said:
“We were looking for a comprehensive system. The previous solution although confidential and GDPR compliant, was far more manual, time consuming and lacked the scale possible with EDGE10. With our ambitions as a medical team and club in mind EDGE10 was the obvious choice.”
The system provides the security they needed, with all medical data safely stored in one double-protected hub.
From a compliance perspective, this was crucial. Now, staff can securely access all the information they need, no matter where they are – keeping everything running smoothly, even if someone is away or needs to hand over to a colleague.
Streamlined Operations and Championship Success
Since implementing EDGE10, Oxford United’s medical team has become more organised, efficient, and focused.
The time saved on administrative tasks has allowed them to spend more time with the players, improving the quality of care. The system’s ease of use means that notes can be added quickly and shared with ease – even when players transfer to new clubs, ensuring seamless data sharing.
This improved efficiency has contributed to the club’s overall success, helping them gain promotion to the Championship.
Oxford United’s medical team is now stronger and better equipped to manage player health, allowing them to support the athletes’ performances both on and off the pitch.
“It definitely allows us to be a more efficient, higher-performing department. We’re more organised, we save time, and the system is incredibly easy to use.”
Oxford United’s partnership with EDGE10 is a prime example of how joining the global EHR system for football can make all the difference – driving both off-field efficiency and on-field success.
