While broken bones and torn cartilage are the hallmarks of athletic injuries, in reality undetected Concussions are potentially the most dangerous injuries on the field. There are simple tests That can be done on the sidelines to Detect a possible concussion, but they require the coach to **tice That someone got hit particularly hard.*There are already devices That detect impacts to the head, but a new company called Force Impact Tech**logies*has taken a somewhat unique approach and developed a smart sensing Mouth Guard That will issue warnings when hit to the Head is dangerous.
The FITGuard has motion sensors built in and an illuminated strip on the front. When the sensors Detect an impact of a high e**ugh strength, the strip turns blue following a sub-concussive impact and turns red when*it suspects a concussion could have occurred. Here’s a company promo video for the FITGuard:
