LEBANON, N.H. — A high-tech helmet invented by a New Hampshire company is helping football teams and the military learn more about head injuries.
The helmet and sensors created by research-and-development company Simbex LLC measures and records the force of impacts to the head. The system already is being used by many football teams looking to detect and prevent injuries. The military also has ordered some of the systems.
The Head Impact Telemetry System, or HIT system, includes a helmet and data transmitter and a console and can monitor dozens of football players or soldiers simultaneously.
