Saturn Sports is developing sensors for American football helmets that detect helmet fit, which changes with each hit (and can lead to helmet separation and player injury). The system also sends haptic signals to the athlete to prompt them to tighten their straps when looseness thresholds are exceeded, rather than waiting for inspection on the sideline. The system provides a centralized team dashboard with user-defined filters (offense, defense, special teams), visualization of fit data throughout the season and provides coaches with data to identify risk patterns and document proper equipment use in the event of an injury.
