A sub-$350 prototype aims to bring concussion screening courtside
Text
Rumble Rims uses eye tracking; clinical validation remains ahead.
After a head impact, a headset could flag concerns. Rumble Rims creators Sophia DeVito, Radhika Saran and Cleo Pontone put their prototype cost below $350.
Its infrared eye-tracking screen takes roughly two to three minutes, informing referral for medical assessment.
It won the 2026 James Dyson Award’s global medical category, with a November 4 interview.
Clinical validation remains future work. This prototype cannot replace diagnosis or guarantee safe return to play.
