DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There are approximately 300,000 sports related traumatic brain injuries every year resulting in loss of consciousness. Studies have shown that only about 8-19 percent of sports related traumatic brain injuries result in loss of consciousness meaning there are approximately 1.6 to 3.8 million sports related traumatic brain injuries in the United States each year. Many of these are not treated by a health care provider. Adolescents aged 15 to 19 years are more likely to sustain a traumatic brain injury than other age groups in part due to sporting activities such as football, hockey, and soccer. Traumatic brain injuries can lead to long term disabilities and even death, especially if not properly treated. In a given year, 3.6 percent to 5.6 percent of the 1.2 million interscholastic football athletes sustain concussions Only about half of high school football players reported their injury after sustaining a minor concussion. Unreported concussions are often left untreated and have an increased potential to become more serious injuries than those receiving prompt medical assessment. Previous helmet based systems have successfully used inertial data to predict possible injury. These systems are expensive and only work with helmeted sports. The proposed system will gather inertial data using an advanced mouthpiece and transmit it to the sideline for assessment of possible injury. Since this system does not require a helmet, it can be used with other sports such as soccer, basketball and baseball in addition to football, hockey, and lacrosse. While football has the highest rate of concussion, basketball, soccer, and baseball combined have historically had a higher number of emergency department visits amongst adolescents. The design goals of the system will include ease of use and low cost to target adolescent athletes. Adolescent athletes are particularly vulnerable to this type of injury due to their continued brain development and reduced strength in their neck. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed program seeks to develop a system that identifies athletes who may have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury while participating in a sporting event. Early injury detection allows for rapid care and optimal medical services.

描述(申请人提供)：每年约有300,000例与运动有关的创伤性脑损伤导致意识丧失。研究表明，只有约8%-19%的运动相关创伤性脑损伤会导致意识丧失，这意味着美国每年约有160万至380万例与运动相关的创伤性脑损伤。其中许多人没有得到医疗保健提供者的治疗。15至19岁的青少年比其他年龄段的青少年更容易遭受创伤性脑损伤，部分原因是足球、曲棍球和足球等体育活动。创伤性脑损伤可能导致长期残疾甚至死亡，特别是如果治疗不当的话。在给定的年份中， 在120万校际橄榄球运动员中，3.6%到5.6%的人患有脑震荡，只有大约一半的高中橄榄球运动员报告说他们在遭受轻微脑震荡后受伤。未报告的脑震荡经常得不到治疗，与那些接受及时医疗评估的人相比，有更大的可能性成为更严重的伤害。以前的基于头盔的系统已经成功地使用惯性数据来预测可能的伤害。这些系统价格昂贵，而且只适用于戴头盔的运动项目。拟议的系统将使用先进的口罩收集惯性数据，并将其传输到边线，以评估可能的损伤。由于这个系统不需要头盔，除了足球、曲棍球和曲棍球之外，它还可以用于其他运动，如足球、篮球和棒球。虽然足球的脑震荡发生率最高，但从历史上看，篮球、足球和棒球加起来在青少年中的急诊科就诊次数更多。该系统的设计目标将包括针对青少年运动员的易用性和低成本。青少年运动员特别容易受到这种类型的损伤，因为他们的大脑持续存在。 他们的脖子会发育和力量减弱。 与公共健康相关：拟议中的计划寻求开发一种系统，以识别在参加体育赛事时可能遭受轻微脑损伤的运动员。及早发现伤情可以提供快速护理和最佳医疗服务。
