Abstract

This paper presents a prototype of a wireless, point-of-care medical device to measure head impacts in contact or collision sports. The device is currently capable of measuring linear acceleration, time, and the duration of impact. The location of the impact can also be recorded by scaling the prototype design to multiple devices. An experimental apparatus was built to simulate head impacts and to verify the data from the device. Preliminary results show that the biomechanical measures from the device are sufficiently accurate.
