World Rugby Instrumented Mouthguard Performance Specification

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

“Reliable head impact monitoring is critical to the advancement of athlete safety across sports. It has been proven that a mouth guard solution is the only accurate way to do this, because a secure coupling to the skull is necessary for accuracy. The team at Prevent Biometrics has developed the most advanced head impact monitor system available today, and I would recommend Prevent to researchers, leagues and teams at all levels of play.”
Joseph Maroon (NFL's Longest Serving Neurosurgeon)

“The ability to put the Prevent technology directly into the hands of soldiers goes far to rapidly evolve technology for the future of the Army.”
Tyler Miller (Captain, ABNSOTD Operations Officer)

“Using the Prevent Biometrics mouthguard which has market leading accuracy, we will be able to review and identify any further opportunities to advance player welfare outcomes...Complete game changer.”
Éanna Falvey (World Rugby Chief Medical Officer )Chief Medical Officer, World Rugby
