1. A system, comprising:

  • a memory that stores executable instructions; and

    a processor, coupled to the memory that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising;

    receiving pressure data from a wireless transceiver coupled to a pressure sensitive sensor attached to a helmet associated with a subject identity, wherein the pressure data represents a pressure within the helmet;

    preprocessing the pressure data;

    extracting information from the pressure data and compressing the pressure data for storage in the memory;

    performing a rules-based analysis of head acceleration force data corresponding to the pressure data to facilitate a determination of statistical feedback data representing results of a statistical analysis based on the head acceleration force data; and

    in response to determining, based on the statistical feedback data, that a deviation from an average of the pressure satisfies a defined condition with respect to pressure change data corresponding to a defined performance level of another subject identity and indicating a likelihood that a head injury was sustained by a head within the helmet associated with the subject identity, sending an alert to a device of an emergency service.
