The Riddell InSite Impact Response System is a new integrated monitoring and alerting tool designed specifically for the proactive protection of football players. Riddell developed InSite based on its Head Impact Telemetry System (HITS) and Sideline Response System (SRS), a technology that has analyzed nearly 1.8+ million impacts since 2003.
Riddell InSite utilizes new integrated technology to monitor and record significant head impacts sustained during a football game or practice. Coaches and other sideline staff will now have Riddell InSite's unique vantage point of what goes on inside the helmet at the time of contact. InSite is designed to alert team staff of high-risk single and multiple head impacts, and enable improved identification [1] and management of concussion.
Riddell InSite consists of three easy-to-operate components, designed to accommodate individual, partial or full teams up to 150 players:
InSite measures HITsp, an advanced head impact exposure metric encompassing effects of linear and rotational acceleration, duration and location into a single measure of head impact severity. This composite measurement is more sensitive to diagnosed concussions than any other impact severity metric currently available.
InSite alerts are based upon three threshold factors:
Riddell InSite will be available for purchase beginning in Spring 2013, and will be on the field during the 2013 football regular season.
