At this writing, concussions and concussion management in sport are a hot topic, particularly with the increase in concussions, such as in the high profile case of hockey player Sydney Crosby and many others. Children involved in contact sports where the use of the helmet is mandatory often receive hits to the head and some return to play prematurely. Not having useful guidelines, parents and coaches do not know what to do. The Kanata company Impakt Protective has developed Shockbox, a helmet impact sensor for concussion management in sports (hockey, ski and snowboard, football, lacrosse). The technology enables parents and coaches to quantitatively assess the severity of a blow to the head, and then are in a better position to determine when to see a doctor, and when it is safe for an athlete to resume play. Impakt Protective is winner of Institute of Engineering & Technology Sports Technology Award 2012. (From Acquisition Proposal, see Ref. 1)

Fonction

Used in sports whose participants wear helmets, such as in hockey. The Shockbox device records date, time, hit direction and uses the "Peak G" force method of head impact analysis to send a visually colour coded alert to an Android, Blackberry or iPhone via Bluetooth. A parent or coach can then use his/her Smartphone to access data and begin instituting concussion management protocols as required. (From Acquisition Proposal, see Ref. 1)

Technique

The device features an accelerometer which measures and records date, time, hit direction and uses the "Peak G" force method of head impact analysis to send a visually colour coded alert to an Android, Blackberry or iPhone via Bluetooth, alerting parents and coaches when an athlete has sustained a blow to the head that may result in a concussion, and require closer examination by a doctor. (From Acquisition Proposal, see Ref. 1)
