The Campaign

We created the brainBAND – a wearable headband that uses custom built mobile technology to measure the force of a concussion in sport and immediately relay this data to referees, coaches and medics via an app on connected devices: wearable tech, smartphone and tablet. As well as measuring the g-force of the impact, brainBAND features LED’s to warn team-mates – yellow, orange and red, meaning a player should be taken off immediately. All data is logged so that over time, players have a complete picture of the forces their brain has been put under. Developed alongside neuroscientists, engineers and international rugby star Izzy Folau, the brainBAND is a powerful new tool for shining a light on the dangers of concussion and reducing injury at every level of the game. As a world-first technology, the brainBAND is an important contribution to Samsung’s strategy as innovators and solvers of meaningful human problems.

Creative Execution

• Implementation We designed and created the brainBAND, showcasing its development via a series of online documentaries. A PR campaign was undertaken in partnership with Australian rugby star Izzy Folau, who promoted and distributed it to selected rugby teams in Sydney. Other Australian sports stars helped promote awareness, gaining exposure in news and social media nationally and globally. • Timeline The project began in July 2015 and was launched in March 2016. • Brand Revelance As a world-first technology, brainBAND is an important contribution to Samsung’s reputation as innovators and creators of technology with a human purpose. • Materials, Style Elements, Design Choices Custom built mobile technology featuring gyroscopes and accelerometers, housed in a wearable rubber headband. The unit needed to be simple and seamless enough to be used on the pitch by players and staff in real time – and stylish enough for players at all levels.
