Players don’t want to report potential Sport Brain Injuries for fear of losing playing time or hurting their team’s chance for glory. Sometimes, players even feel pressure to “shake it off” and remain on the field.

We can’t ignore head injuries anymore. Athletes in North America sustain 3.8 million brain injuries each year and yet they are reluctant to report brain injuries. There is a stigma attached to the word concussion. Teammates label you a wimp.

Impact Intelligence System, which includes a specially designed mouth guard, is able to transmit “real time” head impact data through a wireless network on the sidelines.

While it does not prevent or diagnose concussions, the i1Biometrics Intelligence tracks and monitors information on blows to the head, as they are happening

We present an encore edition of our interview with Dr. Monroe Elkin sharing the benefits and technology behind this revolutionary new mouth guard. Listen in to the conversation on Wednesday August 14 @ 7PM EST at BEYONDtheCheers on blogtalkradio.
