Abstract (English)	By developing novel soft foam sensors which can be integrated into sports helemts we can improve the detection of impact during contact sports such as Ice-Hockey which can lead to traumatic brain injuries. This allows for appropiate monitoring and follow up, reducing long term health impacts.
