How does Heltech’s helmet sensor work?
- Our sensor detects your every move
- Once an impact over 20G’s is recorded, it really takes note
- If an impact is over the minimum threshold, one of up to 5 LEDs and alarms is activated
- Sporting code administrators are alerted to the impact severity immediately
- The athlete should be removed from play to get a definitive concussion assessment
- Detailed impact severity data can be accessed via App
The technology
Double detection
2 accelerometers working in tandem to detect all impacts/movements
Processing power
Nordic M4 Cortex chip for fast processing of impact data
Bluetooth connectivity
Sends impact data alerts to sports administrators/officials in real time
App connectivity
Full impact metrics available for analysis to help understand impact severity
Key metrics
Metrics like cumulative sub-concussive impacts indicate impact exposure over a game or over a period of time
Research
Anonymously opt-in so we understand concussions in all sports, ages and sexes
Is an athlete concussed?
- Know the impact severity
- Remove from play immediately
- Prescribe the optimal rehab pathway
- Impact tolerance varies for everyone
- 'Adrenalin bubble' tricks athletes to play-on
- Injury symptoms delayed for hours or days
- Avoid post-impact amnesia

The Heltech difference
Getting to the crux of the issue
Receive the impact severity in real-time
Know the impact severity to test the athlete immediately
Then the sporting code minimises CTE compensation pay-out risk
Highly accurate 3-axis accelerometer identifies what the eye cannot
Witnessing an impact isn't reliable to know impact severity
What an athlete experiences is vastly different to what observers think
Heltech’s sensors fix this!
Attached to the brow; of course!
Check the athlete's condition and see the impact severity at the same time
Our brow-worn devices often become more than just detection, but prevention also
App-independent
At the time of impact, using an App to get results is not workable
Our sensor indicates the impact severity directly via 5 LEDs and an alarm
Get the detailed data via an App afterwards, when time permits
Receive and react
Don’t rely on the athlete’s reaction - they are typically in an ‘adrenalin bubble’.
The Heltech g-force sensor is impartial.
Receive the alert instantly and react immediately to keep athletes safe.
Most concussion symptoms appear hours or days later.
Visionary technology
If the impact is over the minimum threshold, the sensor sets off up to 5 LEDs and an alarm to pull the athlete out of their ‘adrenalin bubble’.
- It alerts everyone that the athlete needs to be removed from play for testing
- Our sensor helps first responders help unconscious athletes when they need it most
- It can indicate to the athlete whether they may be concussed or not, when training / competing alone
- The severity level helps the athlete get the right rehab, just like they do for any other injury
- Calibrated for accuracy up to 400G’s (i.e. peak G’s in milliseconds)
Instant feedback – no App required
- Almost all tech requires an App to work. Not ours!
- The impact severity is displayed instantly via 5 LEDs and an alarm.
- The sensor display shows the severity, so there’s no need for an App.
- Get all the other metrics and the specific g-force result via an App later-on, when the immediacy of the situation allows
