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 .
