Fredericton’s Parados Cerebral Solutions is preparing for a beta test of its data analytics platform for tracking and preventing head injuries in sports, likely starting in the fall.
Founded in 2020, Parados is using sensors in mouthguards and along athletes’ spines to measure the force of head impacts, such as when football players tackle each other.
The technology is being developed as part of a collaboration with the Concussion Legacy Foundation of Canada, with whom CEO Pascal McCarthy has been collaborating since he was a student in the University of New Brunswick’s Master of Technology
