Jolt, a smart health smart health connected object that measures shocks

[ad_1]

In the past year, we have seen many smart health connected objects emerge with the aim of ensuring the safety of athletes. If it is not always easy to see in the heat of the action the severity of shocks suffered by the players (and especially at the head level), the FitGuard and Jolt are two projects with precisely the ambition of prevent rather than cure. The founders of the two start-ups have one thing in common, that they were in serious danger after a sudden shock during their training. The Jolt project is a project imagined in the labs of MIT.

FitGuard is a mouth guard, while Jolt is a little clip which will be placed on a helmet or a headband. The idea is to be able to monitoring the impact suffered by the athlete at the level of the head and instantly warn those around him. The start-up that seeks to raise $ 60,000 on Kickstarter is primarily for parents who want monitoring the shocks taken by their children during their sports activities. From a mobile application (iOS and Android) linked in Bluetooth Low Energy, they can follow the strength of each of them. Obviously, who says Bluetooth LE also says maximum distance of 50 meters. It will therefore be necessary that the parent (or coach) is not far in the stands to receive the notification instantly. The wearer of the Jolt will also be alerted by a vibration system if the device deems it has suffered numerous shocks, potentially dangerous to it.

Unfortunately, the product will only be marketed initially in the United States and Canada. You will have to pay $ 80 to receive the Jolt in April 2015. If you want to do an act of kindness, you can still offer a Jolt (for $ 75) to a child who needs it.
