Problem
Athletes in contact sports lack real-time, comprehensive data on their performance and potential head impacts, hindering performance optimization and timely injury detection. Existing wearable sensors often fail to capture accurate data during intense physical activity due to limitations in placement and data capture capabilities.
Solution
ORB Innovations offers the ORB Sport™ Smart Mouthguard, a wearable device designed for contact and combat sport athletes that captures biometric data, including heart rate, movement, and impact forces. The mouthguard is fabricated with high-quality EVA plastic material, providing three layers of protection to shield the athlete's teeth. Integrated sensors within the mouthguard provide insights into an athlete's performance and wellness. The custom-molded charging case protects the mouthguard and keeps it game ready.
Target Audience
The primary users are athletes in contact and combat sports seeking performance insights and enhanced safety, as well as coaches and trainers looking to optimize athlete performance and monitor potential head impacts.
Features
- Integrated sensors to capture heart rate zones, averages, and ranges during activity.
- Movement tracking to measure stride and shift intensity.
- Impact sensors to provide insights into impact region and force.
- Three layers of protection using high-quality EVA plastic material.
- Custom-molded charging case for protection and charging.
