“Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion in the sports community about the effects of concussions that can be commonplace during an athletic season. Research is still being done to find a link between the development of CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, later in an athlete’s life due to previous concussions. This device is an accelerometer that’s been programmed to find the change in acceleration and stores data in a microSD card. Data is collected every tenth of a second and the information can be used for a sports medicine physician to determine whether an athlete is at risk of a concussion. There is no definite amount of change in acceleration that will result in a concussion as every person is different but the device can provide more insight for a medical professional.”
