Expensive, yes, but then again so are MRIs. The HITS helmet (for Head Impact Telemetry System) monitors the precise location and severity of impacts to little Johnny's noggin. After the high-tech headgear wirelessly uploads data—gleaned from the same sensors found in car airbags—to a PC, a Web-based analysis may suggest seeking medical attention. The goal is to help parents look for signs of a concussion; peace of mind not included.
