We are pleased to be supporting the ground-breaking work of Dyamotech in their quest to raise awareness of head traumas amongst young players aged between 6-16.
Simone Panella an ex Cambridge player and now Director of Dyamotech commented "Dyamotech is developing new affordable and easy to use wearable technologies to help youngsters recognise head traumas while playing sport. Like our Dyamotech headband, where parents and rugby coaches will be able to signal and keep track of all the head impacts the child has received throughout the session and the intensity of those impacts.
We are currently focusing on age groups that ranges anywhere between 6 to 16 years old, as this is where we believe there is a bigger gap in terms of problem understanding. We have already done some work with 2 of the junior age groups at CRUFC and we have received positive feedback.”
DoR Richie Williams added “With player welfare as our main priority and in light of some of the recent high profile cases on concussion, we fully support Simone and the Dyamotech concept. The devices are a perfect tool to keep track and manage collisions. As a coach and a parent, it is a great and affordable initiative that may reassure some parents that are introducing their children to rugby for the first time.”
