Client
A Chicago-based sports tech startup built a head impact monitoring solution to protect young athletes and support medical professionals with real-time injury data.
Industry
Sports and Fitness
Offering
The client developed a compact wearable sensor that fits inside helmets and detects impacts using an accelerometer and gyroscope. When an incident occurs, the sensor immediately alerts a coach-facing app via Bluetooth. A second app gives parents and athletes visibility into concussion risks and health tracking.
Approaches
We developed native iOS and Android apps that communicate with the helmet sensors using BLE and a custom protocol. These apps sync with a cloud dashboard and automatically email impact reports to designated contacts. Coaches receive live alerts, and parents can monitor their child's history and learn about concussion safety.
Results
The platform equips coaches and parents to make informed decisions when injuries occur, preventing further harm. Medical professionals access precise incident data for faster diagnosis and care. With GPS tracking and automatic alerts, the app enhances safety, boosts confidence, and empowers a proactive response to head injuries in youth sports.
