# Concussion-Detecting Helmets This High-Tech Helmet Conducts EEG Tests to Detect Brain Injury By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-05-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/EmerEEG-helmet References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/tailfin-carbon-fiber-bike-rack/43278/) & [alphagalileo.org](http://www.alphagalileo.org/ViewItem.aspx?ItemId=163954&CultureCode=en) The EmerEEG is an exceptionally high-tech helmet, developed by a Norwegian startup that goes by the name Smartbrain, that is more than capable of detecting if the wearer has suffered a concussion or other form of traumatic brain injury. This high-tech helmet essentially goes about conducting [EEGs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperx-eeg-headset) by virtue of an array of hard-wired electrodes that are attached to the patient's head. The resulting readings can then quickly and easily be studied and interpreted by a doctor. One of the biggest problems with traumatic brain injuries is the fact that they are often not responded to immediately. This high-tech helmet's [real-time monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mw75-neuro-lt) makes it possible to take remedial action immediately, something that affects outcomes and could certainly help save lives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Real-time Monitoring:** Real-time monitoring technology offers opportunities for early detection and intervention in various industries. - **High-tech Wearable:** The development of high-tech wearables opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the healthcare industry and beyond. - **Eeg-based Diagnostics:** Using EEG technology for diagnostics can revolutionize brain injury detection and improve outcomes in healthcare settings. ### Where This Applies - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can leverage concussion-detecting helmets to enhance patient care and prevent long-term brain damage. - **Sports:** The sports industry can benefit from incorporating concussion-detecting helmets to prioritize player safety and reduce long-term health risks. - **Military:** Military personnel can benefit from using concussion-detecting helmets to improve battlefield diagnostics and ensure timely medical intervention. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brain-Protecting Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainprotecting-wearable-device.md) - [Brain Protection Awareness Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-protection-helmet.md) - [Smart Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smarthat.md) - [Airbag-Integrated Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbag-bicycle-helmet.md) - [Concussion Recovery Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neuro-concussion-tracker.md) - [AI-Powered Sports Headbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuromova-n1.md) - [Neurotechnology Gaming Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurable-x-hyperx.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Motorcycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardo-systems.md) - [AI-Powered Sleep Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frenz-brainband.md)
