In my quest to learn more about TBI and the technology that is aiding and assisting patients suffering from TBI, I wondered if there any technology out there that is helping in the diagnosis of the injury. And sure enough, there is. In the article "Helmets That Detect Brain Injury" by BAE Systems, BAE Systems is working on developing a sensor that will monitor the soldier and help in diagnosing Combat-related TBI.
The sensor is being called Headborne Energy Analysis and Diagnostic System (HEADS). I know, the military just loves acronyms. At least this time, the acronym actually makes sense. According to BAE Systems, the sensors will be outfitted into the helmets that Combat troops will wear and will provide a visual indication whether a Soldier has sustained a Combat-related TBI.
