Stanford Ifarm Teamsа–Аthe Final Project Page 1 of 17 Stanford iFarm Teams – The Final Project STANFORD DOCKET NO. S13­015 A NOVEL APPROACH FOR DETECTING HEAD COLLISIONS IN SPORTS TEAM 5 Team: Charlie Ouyang, Alex Trzebucki Mentors: David Taylor, Amy Wilkinson 1. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION, STATUS AND LANDSCAPE A. Idea Description The technology S13­015, “Novel approach for detecting head collisions in sports,” was invented by Bruce Cam, David B. Camarillo, and Lyndia Chun Wu. It consists of two main components: 1) an instrumented mouthguard containing a triaxial linear accelerometer and a triaxial gyrometer, along with other supporting electronics, and 2) an impact detection algorithm that distinguishes between non­impact events and true head impacts. B. Potential Commercial Applications of Technology The primary commercial application of this technology is detection of head impacts in contact sports, helmeted and non­helmeted, where head impact is of concern. Such sports include football, soccer, boxing, hockey, and lacrosse, and include all levels from amateur to professional. Additional commercial applications of the technology may include those in the following sectors: ● Military: Impact­related activities such as parachuting ● Automotive: Safety evaluation (pedestrian and vehicle) ● Elderly care: Head impact detection during falling events C. Features and Benefits The technology is able to provide high accuracy, raw kinematic data and can accurately classify recorded events as impact or non­impact (offline or in real time). The potential uses of this data are numerous. In the short term, the main value of instantaneous and cumulative head impact data lies in its potential use for prompting further clinical evaluation of players during or after sporting events. In the long term, this data will be broadly useful as a correlate to accepted clinical measures, ultimately better informing research on head impacts and leading to the development of devices and policies for improved detection, and more importantly prevention or minimization of head impacts and related sequelae. More broadly, this technology will lead to improved risk models for activities involving head impacts. D. Innovative Aspects The key innovative aspects of this technology revolve around the fully integrated, custom­fitted mouthguard form factor, which provides the following downstream competitive advantages: Page 1 of 17 1) Higher kinematic accuracy compared to alternative form factors/sensor placement (e.g. on the helmet, on the head, on the skin behind the ears. 2) Accuracy of impact event classification (noise vs. real impact) based on the quality of the kinematic data. 3) Usability in non­helmeted sports (compared to instrumented mouthguards with electronics external to the mouth). Other aspects of the technology, such as the sensor electronics and the classification algorithm itself support the overall novelty of the technology without being particularly novel independently. E. Regulatory Hurdles Without targeting this technology toward clinically significant applications, it can bypass typical regulatory hurdles applicable to medical devices. However, in the long term, future technologies evolving from this may need to clear such regulations, and the quality of the data provided by this device may largely determine the success of future regulatory approval. F. Development Status Currently, the technology is a functional prototype and has been fielded. However, several issues remain, including 1) the need to improve hermetic sealing of the electronics and robustness against chewing forces, 2) more data to validate the accuracy of the impact detection system.

Page 6 of 17 3. SWOT ANALYSIS A. Strengths Technology ­ The mouthguard form factor of the device is optimal for intended application of measuring ​ impact forces to the head. The kinematic accuracy due to this form factor is a major competitive advantage, as accurate data is critical for the future of the head impact detection field and the future development of devices with diagnostic value. Development ­ The product is at working prototype stage and is currently being fielded with the Stanford Football team for the 2015­2016 season. The research team is strong, with field­leading expertise in the head impact field, a vision for the direction of the technology and product, and collaborations or connections to the following: ● Stanford School of Medicine ● Stanford Athletics: men’s football, women’s lacrosse ● Duke University ● Industry: OPRO, i1, X2 Commercialization ­ The main strength on the commercialization side is the collaboration with OPRO, a ​ company that is the market leader in the sales and manufacturing of custom­fitted mouthguards (50,000/yr, with the capability to manufacture and additional 10,000/yr for the inventors). In addition, the inventors have several patent applications pending that cover the technology, and are active in technology disclosure and IP protection activities. Finally, initial commercialization of this product will likely not require regulatory approval. B. Weaknesses Technology ­ One weakness of the technology in its current state is that the issue of electronics robustness and hermetic sealing has not been completely solved. A related but separate issue is end user compliance ­ football players are known to chew on their mouthguards, an activity that has been observed in some instances to damage the relatively fragile electronics of the device. Development ­ The inventors require more data for development, and data collection is currently tied to the Stanford football team schedule. Quantity and quality of data appear to be of great importance in the development of both the physical device and the impact detection algorithm. In the long term, a large amount of high quality of data will be needed for regulatory approval, and quality data can only be collected with a well­developed instrument. Commercialization ­ At this time, there is no team in place to develop a commercialization plan or a ​

    Original Research A Comparison of Cervical Spine Motion After Immobilization With a Traditional Spine Board and Full-Body Vacuum-Mattress Splint Brian E. Etier Jr,*† MD, Grant E. Norte,‡ PhD, Megan M. Gleason,§ MD, Dustin L. Richter,|| MD, Kelli F. Pugh,{ ATC, Keith B. Thomson,{ ATC, Lindsay V. Slater,{ PhD, Joe M. Hart,{ PhD, Stephen F. Brockmeier,{ MD, and David R. Diduch,{ MD Investigation performed at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Background: The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) advocates for cervical spine immobilization on a rigid board or vacuum splint and for removal of athletic equipment before transfer to an emergency medical facility. Purpose: To (1) compare triplanar cervical spine motion using motion capture between a traditional rigid spine board and a full- body vacuum splint in equipped and unequipped athletes, (2) assess cervical spine motion during the removal of a football helmet and shoulder pads, and (3) evaluate the effect of body mass on cervical spine motion. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Twenty healthy male participants volunteered for this study to examine the influence of immobilization type and presence of equipment on triplanar angular cervical spine motion. Three-dimensional cervical spine kinematics was measured using an electromagnetic motion analysis system. Independent variables included testing condition (static lift and hold, 30 tilt, transfer, equipment removal), immobilization type (rigid, vacuum-mattress), and equipment (on, off). Peak sagittal-, frontal-, and transverse-plane angular motions were the primary outcome measures of interest. Results: Subjective ratings of comfort and security did not differ between immobilization types (P > .05). Motion between the rigid board and vacuum splint did not differ by more than 2 under any testing condition, either with or without equipment.

That is up from $603 in last year's survey. One reason for the bump is that this year will see the most children entering elementary and middle schools since 2008.” Read the article here. • Cortec Group, a New York based private equity firm, announced that it has completed the purchase of YETI Coolers, LLC.
