Abstract: A concussion detection system comprises a kinematic detection device configured to be carried by a head of a user and a concussion detection device disposed in electrical communication with the kinematic detection device. The concussion detection device comprises a controller configured to: receive kinematic data from the kinematic detection device, the kinematic data associated with a head impact of the user, apply the kinematic data to a strain prediction engine to generate a strain identifier associated with the head impact and a concussion risk assessment associated with the strain identifier, and output the concussion risk assessment based upon the strain identifier and configured to identify a concussion risk associated with the head impact. The concussion detection device can assess concussion risk in the user for an individual impact, or based on a history of multiple head impacts, and can further take into account head or brain size differences.
