TBI One Love Podcast

To kick off our July series, we are having Heidi Kivimaa in Finland! She is the CEO and founder of the:  Northern Sports Insight and Intelligence Oy. Which is a Finnish technology company that developed the ACT Head Impact Tracker. Which is to help prevent brain injuries in sports!

The ACT Head Impact Tracker is a simple, easy-to-use, and versatile head impact measuring device for athletes, coaches, trainers, teams, clubs, federations, and other sports bodies, as well as friends and families of athletes. It is designed to provide information. Information that is crucial to understanding what is happening, to whom, when, and where. Combining the data from the ACT Head Impact Tracker with other data (like video, visual tracking, etc.) opens a whole new world of information: what events preceded and led to the impacts, why and where exactly they happened, to mention a few. With the data, users can study the dynamics of potential hazards, and they may be able to cut down on the number of head impacts, increase the time between them, and maybe even lower their magnitude. The data can also be used to identify risk players and positions, and to assess and modify protocols, practices, training programs, and drills, for example. With the ACT Head Impact Tracker, it is possible to track the compliance with programs, rules, restrictions, and alterations, and measure the results and effectiveness of the actions taken.
