Impact Detect for
Cycling Helmets

Cycling helmets are designed to protect the rider, Impact Detect is designed to give impact severity insight. By combining the two, superior rider safety and protection is achieved.

Severity of Impact

A driver suffering a blow to their helmet has little way of knowing how severe an impact actually is. Impact Detect notifies if a new helmet or medical attention is needed.

Medical Awareness

Impact Detect alerts users after impacts that may cause mTBI, enabling timely medical investigation and treatment.

Instant Data Download

When impact thresholds are exceeded, data becomes instantly downloadable via BLE and our mobile app.

SOS Alerts

BLE-enabled systems allow for automatic SOS messages to be sent to preset contacts upon high-impact detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Impact Detect technology work?

The Impact Detect technology can be integrated within new or existing helmet models, usually within the helmet liner. The Impact Detect technology is continuously monitoring for impacts over a set threshold, when such an impact occurs, the Impact Detect sensor records the impact data ready for download via Bluetooth. Impact Detect have produced several mobile based applications that allow impact data to be instantly download via an app, or downloaded at a later date. The app systems are able to notify users of impact severity based on the implementation of pre-set impact severity thresholds, or send live user impact alerts.

What is an mTBI?

An mTBI is a mild traumatic brain injury usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. There may be signs of injury to the head, such as bruising or cuts, or there may be no visible injury.

Why are mTBIs concerning?

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) can cause changes in brain activity, leading to headaches, fatigue, disorientation, and irritability. The frequency of mTBI plays a significant role in injuries and symptoms, for example, someone who has experienced multiple head injuries may experience life-altering symptoms, such as neurodegenerative diseases and depression.

Will Impact Detect affect driver comfort and performance?

The short answer is no. Drivers would never even know Impact Detect technology was integrated within their helmet unless they were made aware. The technology is small and super light weight, it can be placed within a helmet liner and is battery powered, requiring no charging or wiring in its lifespan. It really is as simple as ‘fit and forget’.
