We quantify concussions
Our idea
Contact sports like American Football come with a high risk of brain injuries and long-term brain damage. OAKSPORTS develops a skull cap, worn under the helmet, to measure the athlete's brain activity while they are on the field.
Through this data, the coach can make real-time decisions in favor of the player's health. Acute injuries can be monitored during the game and long-term changes in the brain can be made visible.
