i1’ s wearable sports technology is capable of offering real-time, sideline data on the force of impacts sustained to athletes’ heads and necks during competition.
As athletes use the mouth guard, the company is continually working to upgrade both its durability and data-gathering accuracy.
“ What we’ re tweaking right now are the algorithms and analytics and such to better interpret the data that’ s coming across,” said Ray Rhodes, chief operating officer of i1 Biometrics. Rhodes spoke about the company’ s revolutionary mouth guard last year at AWB’ s 2015 Manufacturing Summit.“ As we learn more, our manufacturing changes will follow.”
Both Browd and Rhodes stress that the science behind concussions is still young, but technological advances in helmet design and the ability to gather data over the long-term— both on the sidelines and in the lab— will help doctors and sports equipment manufacturers be more proactive in protecting athletes in collision sports.
In a state where technology and manufacturing are cornerstones of the economy, it makes sense this forward-looking technology is manufactured right here, the very place where athlete safety was challenged and changed.
The i1 Biometrics Vector Impact Sensing Mouthguard measures the force of player impacts and sends immediate real-time data to coaches on the sidelines.
