Virginia Tech is outfitting its football players with high-tech helmets with special sensors to gather data on the head blows the athletes suffer in normal games and practice sessions. The data are sent to a central computer in real time via a wireless link.

The system is called the Simbex Head Impact Telemetry System, or "HIT System" for short.
