X2 Impact Sensing Mouthguard DVT3

X2 Impact DVT3 Mouthguard
The X2 Impact mouthguard measures head impacts in athletes and collects the data as a way to mitigate concussions and traumatic brain injuries. It does so by resting near the base of the skull (the back, upper teeth) and using accelerometers and gyroscopes to triangulate the linear and rotational acceleration to the center of the skull, and sending the data live, wirelessly, via an internal radio antenna.
With the bulk of electronics reduced from the previous version, we did some focus group testing to see where users would prefer the necessary bulk to exist.  The result is this design configuration, as a fully-formed 'boil and bite' mouthguard.
