System and Method for Detecting, Recording, and Treating Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury
First Claim
1. A system for detecting information related to traumatic brain injury comprising:
- a skull cap, adapted to be worn by the individual;
a sensor array coupled to said skull cap comprising;
one or more multi-axial accelerometers, adapted to measure linear, rotational, and/or angular forces;
one or more gyroscopes;
a sensor array computer, coupled to said one or more accelerometers and said one or more gyroscopes, including;
a processor for receiving data, including from said one or more accelerometers and said one or more gyroscopes, pertaining to vital signs of the individual; and
a memory for storing said data;
wherein said sensor array computer is adapted to compare said data to historical data for the individual stored in said sensor array memory to determine if a traumatic brain injury has occurred; and
wherein said historical data includes information relating to the frequency of injuries to the individual'"'"'s head over a given time period.

Abstract
A system and method for detecting information related to traumatic brain injury is presented, comprising a skull cap, adapted to be worn by an individual, and a sensor array coupled to the skull cap. The sensor array comprises one or more multi-axial accelerometers, adapted to measure linear, rotational, and/or angular forces, one or more gyroscopes, and a sensor array computer, coupled to the accelerometers and gyroscopes, including a processor for receiving data from the accelerometers and gyroscopes pertaining to the individual'"'"'s vital, and a memory for storing data. The sensor array computer is adapted to compare the data to historical data for the individual to determine if a traumatic brain injury has occurred, wherein the historical data includes information relating to the frequency of injuries to the individual'"'"'s head over a given time period, and to calculate acceleration from linear forces. The headgear preferably comprises a plurality of layers.
