Hothead Technologies Inc

The HOT System is a patent-pending, two-component package that embeds a heat sensing unit inside the helmet of a football player and collects and relays periodic temperature readings from the player's skin to a portable data collector (A ruggedized PDA or Laptop Computer). The portable device is used to alert a trainer or sideline assistant that a player has exceeded an allowable temperature while the player's helmet is strapped on. If a temperature ranges outside of the set parameters then the data collector will alert the sensor unit in the helmet to take temperature readings at a faster rate. The alert will be displayed on the data collector so the operator of the data collector can make a decision on whether to pull the player or not. The alert will be automatically removed from the data collector as soon as the temperature falls back into the normal parameters.
