Design and Implementation of Prototype Helmet Model to Detect and Monitor Concussion

Abstract

Concussion alters the brain functionality when occurred for a greater number of iterations in accidents. It happens when a sudden blow is introduced to the head during a fall, hit or could be worse in case of accidents. In this project, we design a prototype model helmet, to measure the impact of a hit when a player, a biker and a construction site labor’s head comes across a hit. The impact sensor measures the intensity of the hit and gives an output in terms of “Gravity (g)” force based on the threshold set. The measured “Gravity (g)” will help for further diagnosis of the patient. This diagnosis helps in the situation where a person cannot move his body and is in critical condition. The advanced Micro controller gets data from sensor its resolution is 1024 sample data. This project detects neck injuries also from flex sensor. The process is also automated to indicate the information to guide people.
