Smarter Helmets for Safer Athletes Our goal? A helmet that not only detects impacts but also empowers athletes, coaches, and medical professionals with real-time data and instant healthcare access.
HeadSpace is an intelligent helmet system designed to monitor, analyze, and report head impacts in real time.
- Impact Force Analysis: Visualizes where the impact occurred on the brain
- Doctor Assessments: Real-time recommendations based on impact history
- Interactive Graphs: Tracks impact severity over time for injury prevention
This ensures that athletes, coaches, and medical professionals have access to critical data for informed decision-making on player safety and recovery.
We combined hardware sensors, software analytics, and wireless communication to build a fully functional prototype.
- Force Resistance Sensors (FRS) detect impact intensity and location
- A custom algorithm analyzes the data to assess severity
- Data is wirelessly transmitted via the ESP32Dev module
- Stored in a centralized web platform for professional review
- React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript power the user interface
All components are integrated into a lightweight, comfortable helmet—maintaining usability without sacrificing performance.
- Improve sensor accuracy and data analysis algorithms
- Conduct real-world testing in multiple sports environments
- Enhance helmet comfort, durability, and usability
- Explore partnerships with sports organizations and medical professionals
- Scale for wider adoption across teams and leagues
- React
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- ESP32Dev module
- Force Resistance Sensors
- Web platform with real-time analytics
