Is it possible to build a smart helmet and prevent concussions?
From: TEDx Stanford - 05/22/2016
By: David Camarillo

Most of what you know about concussion is wrong, including the belief that
there is no helmet design that can truly protect the brain, says former
college football player and Stanford bioengineer David Camarillo. His lab is
determined to build a better, smarter helmet, based on their new discoveries
about what actually causes concussions. And he plans to accomplish this
before his 2 year-old daughter starts riding her bike on the road.

David Camarillo is currently Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and (by
courtesy) Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Having played 10
years of football and had two concussions from bike accidents, David’s lab
focuses on understanding and preventing traumatic brain injury. His lab uses
sensors in mouth guards to measure the forces of head impact in sports. The
ultimate goal is to link these forces to neurological deficits and to design
concussion proof helmets.
