A wearable ballistic impact protection system detects impacts to a body.
The system includes multiple sensors for detecting vibration. The sensed
vibrations are converted to electrical signals which are filtered.
Electronic components are provided to determine whether the filtered
signal have frequency and amplitude characteristics of impact that cause
injury to a body. Preferably, the sensors are Piezo-electric film sensing
elements. Information regarding the extent of the impact and injuries to
the body may be transmitted to a remote location so that medics or other
personnel may be informed to the extent of injuries to the body so that
they may provide medical assistance.
