Harvard Students Win James Dyson Award for a Headset That Screens Athletes for Concussion in Minutes

Harvard students Radhika Saran, Cleo Pontone and Sophia DeVito won the 2026 James Dyson Award for the United States for Rumble Rims, an infrared eye-tracking headset that lets coaches screen athletes for possible concussion on the sidelines in two to three minutes. CDC data from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found 15.1 percent of U.S. high schoolers, about 2.5 million, reported at least one sports-related concussion in the prior year. The device records eye movements during an oculomotor task and turns them into real-time guidance on whether a player should be pulled and referred for medical evaluation.
