Stanford University is currently using special mouth pieces to see how much of an impact head injuries are on football players. They plan to expand these mouth pieces to not only foot ball players but also to lacrosse, hockey, and soccer players. The mouth guards were created by Seattle-based X2 Imact. They hope to also create an affordable alternative to specialized helmets that have been used in head injury studies.
This is a good invention because head injuries during football games are a growing concern. They tested the product on dummies and are still collecting data.I believe this would be a great idea because it can help them find out what to do to help people not get concussions and other harmful brain injuries.
