Inspiration

Sac State is the first college to recognize combat sports as part of its athletics program, moving beyond just club sports. However, in the first three months of training, a significant number of boxers have experienced concussions during sparring.

What it does

To address this issue, we’ve developed a solution: smart headgear designed to reduce the risk of concussions. By using advanced sensors, the headgear monitors impact forces in real-time and provides critical feedback, helping to protect athletes and enhance safety during training.

How we built it

We developed our smart headgear using a combination of hardware and software technologies to provide real-time impact monitoring. The hardware setup includes: Raspberry Pi Pico W – serving as the core controller for collecting sensor data. MPU-6050 Sensors – three-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes are integrated into the headgear to measure both linear and angular accelerations, which are critical for assessing impact forces.

Challenges we ran into

One of chllenges we ran into being able to stream data in real-time to our mobile app to provide real time feedback. We also broke ALOT of pins testing our headgear.

Accomplishments we're proud of

We are very proud to have our prototype completed
