Sports Impact Technologies

Great to see Eóin Tuohy, founder and CEO of Sports Impact Technologies, headquartered at NovaUCD, feature in today’s Meet the Talent column by Andriani Loizidou in 4i MAG. “We are developing a sports wearable that detects all head impacts as they happen. 10% of athletes will experience a concussion in any given season, and 5 in 10 concussions go unreported or undetected. The wearable we are developing is a small sensor (about the size of a €2 coin) placed behind a player’s ear. When the player goes out to train or play a match, the sensor records all impacts and sends them live to the sideline, where a coach, physio, or parent can monitor the recording and, remove the player from play and assess them for a concussion. We have conducted several on-field pilots to better understand how players interact with the system. We are about three months away from having a version of the sensor that we can use in validation studies. We are currently working to close a €500k investment round that will enable us to get the product ready for market,” said Eoin Tuohy. ESA Space Solutions Centre Ireland TechIreland

It was great to be mentioned by Minister Josepha Madigan T.D. on RTE1's Upfront With Katie Hannon. A very interesting show with input from a number of different stakeholders and first hand accounts of concussion in sport. You can watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/dXxmYYBb

We highly recommend any startup that has potential upstream application (sending your technology to space/bringing it to the space industry) or downstream application (using space technology for terrestrial markets) to speak with the ESA Space Solutions Centre Ireland about ESA BIC or ESA Spark funding.
