Monitoring Head injuries with helmets

The HIT System is the first and only system that can measure head accelerations (impacts) in real-time during games and practices. The HIT System's sensor/encoder, contains impact sensors, a processor and transmitter, and transforms any helmet or headgear into a head impact monitor.

A data collector receives impact data continuously from encoders that can be hundreds of meters away, and can monitor dozens of players or soldiers simultaneously. The software analyzes those data and sends a pager warning if any impact has a potentially injurious profile.

The data collector stores all of the key signatures of the impacts: peak linear acceleration, rotational acceleration, duration, location, time stamp, etc, for future analysis.

After more than a decade of research , the HIT System was put to the test in the crucible of elite college and high school football stadiums and practice fields. Using the HIT System we can record over one-quarter of a million impacts and corresponding head injury data.

Researchers are using the analysis of these data to shed new light on the biomechanical causes of mild traumatic brain injuries. This research may lead to advancements in protective equipment or other injury reduction strategies.

Hope i can get my hands on one of that for my own analysis of concussive forces during impact fo any kind>>
