Wearable Sensor for Athletes Detects Potential Head Injuries
From: Wireless Design Magazine - 08/11/2016

The Jolt Sensor ($99) is a small, clip-on accelerometer that can be mounted
on an athlete’s helmet, or other headgear, to measure any impact an athlete
sustains. When the athlete receives a heavy blow, the sensor vibrates and
sends alerts to a mobile app, which is monitored by coaches or parents on the
sideline.

The app lists each player on a team wearing the sensor. Filtered to the top
of the list are players that received the biggest hits, players with the most
total hits, and players with above average hits compared to their past
impacts. If a player sustains a hard hit, the player’s name turns red, and an
alert appears telling the coach to evaluate that player. The app includes a
concussion symptom checklist and cognitive assessment test.
