Mockup idea for an entrepreneurship class. Would love your feedback, all you have to do is take the survey. Positive feedback appreciated!

Done! Throwing an idea at you too. How about a shock absorbing helmet where insulation would take the brunt and save your skull.

I know an older guy who created a low-key stylish headband that would be linked to a smartphone app that would send a text to your phone if you reach a certain impact level from a blow to the head. Pretty sure he tanked the idea but it'd be cool if you could figure it out. Concussions suck unfortunately there is not much you can do to cure one. Some might argue that there's no need for an alert/conformation system. When you get a bad one you will know.

realistically would be pretty easy to do. a simple accelerometer inside the helmet would be able to alert you if you received a concussion-inducing collision, which are typically 95 g's or more
