A smart headband for athletes to
monitor head impacts

image

No brain, no game

After sustaining a strong impact that caused a concussion, a player’s reflexes are diminished. If the athlete stays in the game, the chances of sustaining a second impact increase and the consequences can be dramatic. Taking the best decisions at the right time is crucial for athletes' brains.

Impactful features that matter

Bringing players the product they deserve. We’ve got your back with this precise, reliable and comfortable headband.

Precise

Our multiple sensors are distributed across the headband and as close as possible to the head for maximum precision.

Reliable

Make each microsecond count. The game data is stored locally for further post-game analysis.

Comfortable

Never compromise on comfort. Quick-drying nylon with gripping details merge to become one with the player.

Connected

Low-power but make it long-range. Bluetooth Low-Energy and ESP-NOW technologies connect the headband to the app.

Our app: Instant feedback at your fingertips

Connect to the headband. Receive an alert when the player sustains a large impact. Download the player’s head accelerations after the game. All it takes is a few clicks.

Open-minded, dynamic and motivated, I can easily adapt to any situation. I am self-sufficient, but I enjoy team work. Attention to detail means that I take important tasks in my stride.
