Head Impact Telemetry System (HITS) is a software system originally designed to help detect potential concussion type collisions of American football players. The Head Impact Telemetry System was first developed by scientists at Virginia Tech and Dartmouth College in 2002. The Head Impact Telemetry System is the first of its kind that can measure the impacts of players in real game time. HITS is being used to have a better understanding of how concussions and other head injuries happen. A major advantage of the Head Impact Telemetry System is its ease of use. Lower-level program trainers can operate the system quickly, easily, and efficiently.
