After following closely developments in the impact sensor area for a number of years, and believing that this cutting edge technology had the potential to revolutionize the sideline identification of concussion in contact and collision sports and combat the chronic underreporting of concussions by athletes (which a new study has just shown persists, despite increased education), we decided to beta test the Shockbox football helmet sensor (one of the sensors nearing market launch).

Interestingly, just days before the NFL's decision to suspend the use of impact sensors was announced, my local paper, The Boston Globe, came out with a powerful editorial in which it urged college, high school, and recreational leagues in contact and collision sports to consider mandating use of impact sensors, or, at the very least, experimenting with the technology, to alert the sideline personnel to hits that might cause concussion, and to track data on repetitive head impacts, which, a growing body of peer - reviewed evidence suggests, may result, over time, in just as much, if not more, damage to an athlete's brain, as a single concussive blow, and may even predispose an athlete to concussion.

One way, I believe, to address the problem of under - reporting and increase the chances a concussion will be identified early on the sports sideline may be to rely less on athletes themselves to remove themselves from games or practices by reporting concussion symptoms (which the most recent study shows occurs at a shockingly low rate, [9] or on game officials and sideline observers to observe signs of concussion and call for a concussion assessment, but to employ technology to increase the chances that a concussion will be identified by employing impact sensors designed to monitor head impact exposure in terms of the force of hits (both linear and rotational), number, location, and cumulative impact, in real time at all levels of football, and in other helmeted and non-helmeted contact and collision sports, where practical, to help identify high - risk impacts and alert medical personnel on the sideline so they can consider performing a concussion assessment.
