[QUOTE="Eastman, post: 239093, member: 1390"] An MIT grad has produced a small wearable sensor for athletes that detects potential head injuries and gathers data on hard hits. It is a small, clip-on accelerometer that can be mounted on an athlete’s helmet or other headgear to measure any impact the athlete sustains. During a heavy blow, the sensor vibrates and sends alerts to a mobile app, which is monitored by coaches or parents on the sideline. A key innovation of the Jolt Sensor, is a custom communications protocol that allows an unlimited number of sensors to transfer data to the app from up to 200 yards away.
