Bioengineers Improve Upon Football Mouthguard that Senses Head Impacts
From: Medical Design Technology - 06/23/2014

A device developed by Stanford bioengineers could one day provide real-time
measurements of the head impacts sustained by football players. The research
could also help characterize the forces sustained in more common head
traumas, such as car accidents and falls.

A group of bioengineers at Stanford is working to understand the head trauma
that footballers experience during a game, and is making steps toward
developing technology that reports dangerous hits in real time.
