The Defense Starts Here.
This is HeadSafe.
Headsafe tracks head impacts in real time through an intuitive interface, providing players, coaches, and medical staff with key data like impact severity and frequency.
How It Works
The system tracks head impacts in real time, displaying data like impact force and frequency on the app. A heatmap on the helmet highlights areas with higher impact intensity, using warmer colors for more severe hits. Alerts notify staff when impacts exceed safe thresholds, allowing for quick, informed decisions on player safety, reducing the risk of major head injuries.
Why?
The “why” for this project comes down to two things: passion and safety. This project aims to keep football players safer than they’ve been previously. Because at the end of the day, anyone who loves football wants these players to be as safe as they can be, while still playing the game. This project is here for the passion of the players, as well as the fans of football who want to see these guys have long, healthy careers playing America’s most favorite sport.

My Process
The HeadSafe logo features a shield to symbolize protection and safety. These were the iterations.
I started with a mood board to set the tone, then did a competitive analysis to see what others were doing. After that, I created a journey map to make sure HeadSafe would address key moments in the game and keep player safety at the forefront.
My completed design style guide for the HeadSafe interface.
“I believe that any improvement in tracking and monitoring head collisions is needed in the game. Just like tracking how much running we do which leads to mandatory rest and recovery. The same should be implemented for your head.”
-Oliver Jervis (CSU Football ‘24)
I created sketches of the main screens and flow, then moved them into Figma for a low fidelity mockup.

Headsafe is still a work in progress, with ongoing development and refinement.
