A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of a blast or concussive event includes applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during the incidence of the concussive event. Reducing blood out flow from the cranial cavity increases intracranial pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood out flow further increases the intracranial pressure, and thereby increases the pressure of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, internal structure of the eye and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function.

The invention is a novel shoulder pad / vest article providing a unique method to link with commercially available helmets to reduce concussion potential. A shoulder pad / vest article which creates a gap the user can close to take a protective posture and brace the helmet within the shoulder pad / vest article. Through lowering their chin and hunching their shoulders the user may close the gap and seat the helmet within the socket / pocket and create a friction / pressure / abutted connection between the helmet and the shoulder pad / vest article limiting: head acceleration, whiplash, and cervical compression while promoting energy transfer. A shoulder pad / vest article with unique socket / pocket / collar connection types for body-contact sports also having utility for military ground-based personnel where blunt force trauma injury to the head and neck are apt to occur. The invention has multiple embodiments.

The present invention is a wearable concussion detection and monitoring system that captures and analyzes head impact data in real time. It integrates an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a microcontroller with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless communication. When an impact exceeds a threshold, the system records linear and rotational acceleration, applies sensor fusion algorithms (e.g., Madgwick filter) to remove gravitational noise, and timestamps the event. Data is stored onboard and transmitted to a mobile application and cloud platform for further analysis. Machine learning models assess concussion risk, providing real-time alerts and long-term impact tracking for athletes, trainers, and medical professionals. The system enhances concussion assessment and injury prevention across sports, military, and other high-impact activities, offering an objective, data-driven approach to head injury monitoring.

The present invention is directed to a single-directional insufflator or breath-powered nasal device that provides unique dual airflow for propelling a drug substance into a nasal cavity, preferably deep into the superior nasal cavity and into the olfactory region and the trigeminal nerve mucosa, for rapid diffusion into the brain for the treatment of nasal and / or central nervous system (“CNS”) injury, disease or disorder, especially brain injury, such as traumatic brain injury (“TBI”), including concussion, and methods regarding nasal treatment therewith.Breath-powered nasal devices for delivering a somewhat tight or confined, concentrated plume of drug substance deep into the nasal cavity to targeted sites, bypassing the blood brain barrier, namely the olfactory nerve to provide concentrated drug substance for direct absorption into the brain are disclosed. The confined plume of drug substance propelled from the nasal device by a patient's breath is narrow in the vertical resembling the diameter of the inner chamber in which the drug substance is stored. By forming this narrow or confined plume, a greater concentration of the drug substance can be deposited at the deeper nasally targeted sites. The breath-powered nasal devices of the present invention accomplish this unique advantage by the use of a novel dual elongated double-walled tube chamber comprised of an outer hollow chamber and the inner chamber in which the inner chamber is stabilized in the outer chamber by preferably two, three or more ribs. More specifically, the breath-powered nasal device uses the patient's own breath to blow air simultaneously at the same force rate through both chambers. As the blown air exits both chambers, the propelled air from the outer tube chamber surrounds the drug substance propelled from the inner tube chamber within the blown air forcing the drug substance to exit in a tight or confined, concentrated plume shape in the vertical, so that a higher concentration of drug substance reaches the targeted nasal sites, as compared to a conical fanned-out plume shape of drug substance exiting a single hollow chamber, as illustrated in FIGS. 44-45. This unique feature allows diseases or injuries of the brain to be treated more effectively with a drug substance without or with minimized systemic or Blood Brain Barrier (“BBB”) issue.
