Q:
Is this a patented solution?
A:
The H.I.P. Helmet has patents pending.
Q:
What makes this helmet different than others on the market?
A:
The H.I.P. Helmet has multiple segments and layers that are held together by flexible joints, enabling impact forces to move around the helmet and away from the head. It was designed with the existing solutions provided by nature as inspiration.
Q:
What types of impact is the H.I.P. helmet made to protect against?
A:
The H.I.P. Helmet is made to reduce the effect of impact from blast waves, shock waves, acoustic waves, and impact waves.
Q:
What is biomimicking and why was it used in the design of the H.I.P. helmet?
A:
Biomimicking comes from two words: “bio”, which means living organism and “mimic”, which means imitate. Biomimicing is the act of being inspired by solutions in nature and translating those principles to human engineering. These principles are used in the design of the H.I.P. helmet because we believe nature is the ultimate creative problem-solver. The H.I.P. Helmet was made to harness the designs of nature to help prevent Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Concussion (M-TBI), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and other injury to the brain.
Q:
Can accessories for communication and specific use-cases be added?

Q:
For what uses is the H.I.P. helmet appropriate?
A:
The H.I.P. Helmet is designed to serve a wide range of users who experience impact. Military personnel, first responders, athletes and other people who are at risk of brain injury from impact are the ideal users for the helmet.
Q:
What’s next for the H.I.P. Helmet?
A:
The product roadmap for H.I.P. Helmet includes the addition of sensor technologies to monitor heart rate, degree of impact, electrical brain activity and more.
