Problem Domain

"The study examined 694 brains, and found that 20.2% of former athletes had Lewy Body Disease." - The Tennessean

β€œAn extra year of rugby increases the risk of CTE by 14%” - BBC

Growing awareness of the long-term consequences of repeated head impacts in sports has revealed a high prevalence of brain disorders among former athletes, emphasizing the need for proactive monitoring. Subconcussive impacts, even without immediate symptoms, contribute to long-term brain damage. The absence of a reliable and affordable impact-monitoring system poses challenges in identifying at-risk athletes and developing effective preventative measures.

In response to the escalating concern surrounding long-term brain disorders resulting from repeated head impacts in sports, ImpaX emerges as a groundbreaking impact tracking system. This innovative solution addresses the challenges posed by subconcussive impacts, providing reliable monitoring and preventive measures.

High Level Solution Architecture

During sports sessions, wearable devices and dashboards establish a local area network connected to the hub, utilizing MQTT for real-time impact data transmission. Managers monitor impacts in real-time on their dashboards and can mark potential concussions based on their expertise.

Post-session, session details, including impact data and concussion markers, are sent to the backend and stored in a secure database. Players access their analytics dashboard to retrieve personalized impact histories, while managers utilize a separate analytics dashboard for reviewing their players' impact histories.

This architecture ensures seamless information flow during sessions, real-time monitoring, expert intervention, and comprehensive analytics for informed decision-making by both players and managers.
