Bio Sensing Technologies Launches Smart HEAD System for Real-Time Head Impact Monitoring

Bio Sensing Technologies has introduced the Smart HEAD System, a compact biometric tracking device designed to monitor head health in real-time. The quarter-sized device, developed in Colorado Springs, integrates into helmets, headgear, and headbands to collect crucial data about head impacts and movement. The launch follows growing industry attention on athlete safety monitoring solutions, as demonstrated by previous partnerships between sports organizations and biometric device manufacturers like the LPGA’s adoption of WHOOP bands.

The system measures multiple metrics including head temperature, rotation, and impact velocity. It transmits this data wirelessly via Bluetooth to handheld devices, where users can access detailed analytics through a cloud-based application.

The technology addresses a significant market, with over 90 million helmets currently in use across the United States and approximately 4 million concussions occurring annually. The system’s applications span multiple sectors, including sports, military operations, and medical rehabilitation. This development aligns with broader industry trends toward comprehensive biometric monitoring solutions, similar to those seen in advanced athletic performance tracking devices.

The device serves multiple purposes, including improving player safety through head impact monitoring, reducing concussion risks, and supporting rehabilitation efforts. Healthcare providers, including neurologists and physical therapists, can use the data to develop personalized treatment plans. The system’s cloud-based analytics platform follows similar approaches to other health monitoring solutions, enabling secure data storage and analysis while maintaining privacy compliance.

Early trials of the Smart HEAD System have attracted attention from sports technology experts, suggesting potential applications across various athletic disciplines and safety-critical environments.
