The HIT Impact wearable is a solution for cyclists, athletes and sports enthusiasts alike that works to keep their cranial health in the spotlight when partaking in a range of activities. The device works by being worn on the head and will go to work detecting for impact force that will trigger an alert if it reaches the threshold of safety. This information will be relayed to the accompanying app, which can be used to gather as much information as possible to know whether or not a concussion might have been sustained.
The HIT Impact wearable can be used with a range of helmets including hard and soft-shell varieties, and can be used with the Team Play feature to keep groups covered.
