We provide a full system to identify, document, and respond to potential head injury in athletic activities. We do this through our FITGuard which is a mouthguard that measures linear and angular acceleration, embedded with an LED to indicate when a user should be removed from play for further evaluation. After which, our custom smartphone application prompts individual to perform an Acute Concussion Evaluation (A.C.E.) for the player that has been removed for play. This will then be useful to provide to a physician so they may offer a diagnoses . In addition, data is uploaded to our servers in hopes that it will create the first database of cranial forces in youth sport. This is important because it will allow further research to be conducted to better understand the risk athletes expose themselves to. We target youth athletics because this demographic is the most vulnerable to concussions and typically has the fewest medical support resources at the time of an incident.
