Advances in sensor technology and electronics miniaturization now make it possible to detect and measure head impacts through a low profile mouthguard. Head impact monitoring provides highly actionable data to many athletics stakeholders, placing sports organizations on the leading edge of head impact science and improving the quality of care for athletes. The availability of objective and accurate head impact data enables better in-game identification of players for sideline evaluation, allows coaches to instruct safer technique, and gives scientists reliable research data to complete groundbreaking studies.

Identify players needing sideline evaluation
Real-time, accurate head impact monitoring can shift the determination of whether to remove a player for sideline evaluation from an observational, subjective decision to an objective, data-driven process, reassuring coaches and parents that they're making the right call about safety.
Coaches
Instruct safer playing technique
Players experiencing higher levels of head impact exposure are revealed through data. The data becomes exceptionally powerful when paired with film, allowing coaches to identify technique or situations that may be dangerous and correct the athlete.
Organizations
Deeply understand head impacts throughout the organization
Team and league administrators are able to take a proactive approach to player safety through head impact monitoring. Available analytics power comparisons among players, positions, teams, sports, and athlete gender, providing the information to make fact-based decisions about safer play.
Researchers
Collect reliable head impact data for research studies
The research and science community are able to conduct important studies into the forces that cause injury thanks to sound head impact data. Prevent works with many of the world's leading academic researchers to help them measure and better understand head impacts.
