项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates the yearly incidence of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) at approximately 1.2 million cases in the United States alone. Approximately 1/3 of these injuries occur in football. The Principal Objective of this NIH Phase I SBIR project is to develop and validate the sensing and electronics components of HitAlert", a low cost head impact alert system for monitoring mTBI for widespread use. Brain injury is difficult to "see", particularly on the field. What is lacking from the current state-of-the-art clinical techniques is the identification of the impact or series of impacts that triggers the clinical symptoms and changes in brain physiology that are indicative of concussion in the athlete. HitAlert provides the enabling technology that allows users at all playing levels to receive the highest level of care. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates the yearly incidence of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) at approximately 1.2 million cases in the United States alone. Approximately 1/3 of these injuries occur in football. mTBI is a major source of lost player time. Head injuries accounted for 13.3% of all football injuries to boys and 4.4% of all soccer injuries to both boys and girls in a large study of high school sports injuries. Approximately 62,800 mTBI cases occur annually among high school varsity athletes, with football accounting for about 63% of cases. Concussions in hockey affect 10% of the athletes and make up 12%-14% of all injuries. 4-6 concussions occur per year in a football team of 90 players (7%), and 6 per year from a hockey team with 28 players (21%). mTBI has been recognized as a major public health issue and much emphasis has been put on proper treatment and prevention. The NIH and CDC have declared that reducing the incidence, severity, and post-injury symptomology of mTBI is a national research priority. Concussions, particularly when repeated, threaten the long-term health of the athlete. The health care costs associated with mTBI in sports are estimated to be in the hundreds of millions annually.

描述（由申请人提供）：疾病控制中心（CDC）估计，仅在美国，轻度创伤性脑损伤（mTBI）的年发病率约为120万例。其中约1/3发生在足球比赛中。该NIH I期SBIR项目的主要目标是开发和验证HitAlert的传感和电子组件，HitAlert是一种用于监测mTBI的低成本头部撞击警报系统，可广泛使用。脑损伤很难“看到”，特别是在球场上。目前最先进的临床技术所缺乏的是识别触发临床症状的冲击或一系列冲击，以及指示运动员脑震荡的脑生理学变化。HitAlert提供了使能技术，使所有游戏级别的用户都能获得最高级别的护理。公共卫生关系：疾病控制中心（CDC）估计，仅在美国，轻度创伤性脑损伤（mTBI）的年发病率就约为120万例。其中约1/3发生在足球比赛中。mTBI是球员损失时间的主要来源。在一项关于高中运动损伤的大型研究中，头部损伤占男孩所有足球损伤的13.3%，占男孩和女孩所有足球损伤的4.4%。在高中校队运动员中，每年发生约62，800例mTBI病例，其中足球约占63%。曲棍球运动中的脑震荡影响了10%的运动员，占所有受伤人数的12%-14%。4-6在90名球员的足球队中每年发生脑震荡（7%），在28名球员的曲棍球队中每年发生6次脑震荡（21%）。mTBI已被认为是一个主要的公共卫生问题，并已把重点放在适当的治疗和预防。NIH和CDC已经宣布，降低mTBI的发病率、严重程度和损伤后病理学是国家研究的重点。脑震荡，特别是反复发作时，会威胁运动员的长期健康。与运动中的mTBI相关的医疗保健费用估计每年数亿美元。
