Impact Sensing Football Helmets from Riddell

December 19th, 2007 Medgadget Editors Sports Medicine

Sport equipment manufacturer Riddell of Rosemont, IL is now shipping its IQ HITS™ football helmets that feature a number of motion sensors and wireless transmission capabilities, all designed to provide coaches and medical teams on the sideline with real-time information on the players’ cranial impacts. According to MIT Technology Review, the University of Missouri and a few other teams have already ordered their helmets.
We envision that this technology will somehow one day be coupled with car-like airbags, providing more than just actionable information.
