i1 Biometrics, a leading sports wearable technology company that has developed the Vector™ MouthGuard with ESP™ Chip Technology, announced today it has acquired Shockbox from Impakt Protective, Inc. The acquisition adds to i1 Biometrics’ existing real-time head impact detection portfolio and elevates the company’s position further as a global leader in the sports wearable technology space for concussion management.

Sports concussions are serious business. Every day athletes from the youngest hockey player to the millionaire professional football player suffer concussions — and public awareness is catching up.

The danger of concussions in sports is leading to new wearable technology to try to protect athletes. University of Kansas football players will use new high-tech mouth guards this season to help identify concussions.

"I love the game, my boys love the game; I don’t want to take that away from them. There’s so many positive things that come out of sports, you know: leadership, character, teamwork, camaraderie, etc. I value those things. What I’m interested in is how can we preserve the game, allow these young men to play the game, but make it safer." - CEO Jesse Harper to Elite Daily

As we learned in last night's HBO interview with Mike Ditka, concussions continue to cast a long shadow over the game of football.
