Simbex LLC Named December “Innovation Rocks!” Award Winner

LEBANON– The creation of a high-tech helmet that is helping football teams and the military learn more about head injuries led to Simbex LLC being named the “Innovation Rocks!” Award winner by the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development’s Business Resource Center for the month of December.

The Lebanon-based company is a research and product development firm that brings marketable products and solutions to active life improvement in sports injury, human performance and mobility. Hailed by Time Magazine in its “Best Inventions for 2007” issue for two of its creations, Simbex has developed the Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System which includes a helmet, data transmitter and console which can record the force of impacts to the heads of football players and soldiers. In addition to measurement, the system can match what kind of a hit an individual took with treatment options.

“The HIT System is an extremely valuable tool in protecting athletes and military personnel alike,” said New Hampshire Business Resource Center Director Roy Duddy. “Simbex has created a product with unlimited capabilities and the possibility of ensuring the safety and well being of many people. This is truly a company with an eye toward the future.”
