By using smartguard you'll be helping us understand concussion
ORB created smartguard to help further the understanding as a society of concussion within contact sports, such as Rugby, American football, Boxing and (Ice) Hockey. Our mission is to identify concussion at point of occurrence on the playing field, but we need your help to do so.
With your permission, we want to use the data generated from your smartguard to gain insights into where, when and how head injuries like concussion occur. This will get us closer to being able to identify concussion at point of occurrence on the playing field.
We will also use the data to quantify the effectiveness of new laws and protocols which aim to reduce head injuries. Helping guide sports bodies to improve the welfare of players whilst minimising the effect on the game.
