About

Passionate Team. Award Winning Solution.

Alpha Fiber provides the only real-time solution for monitoring head impacts in athletes and military personal using only cameras – without the use of any wearables on the individual. Our patent-pending system utilizes computer vision, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies to track all head impacts and identify which ones can potentially cause injury. Alpha Fiber’s team has decades of combined experience in researching traumatic brain injury, diagnosing and treating concussions, and developing specialized software powered by the latest technologies.

Alpha Fiber’s vision is to expand our understanding of concussions and mild TBIs in sports, and use this knowledge to potentially reduce future occurrences of concussions and improve recovery and patient outcomes.

Social Impact

Our mission maps to two United Nations Sustainability Goals:
– Improved Health (3)
– Reduced Inequality (10)

Our Values

1. Precision

2. Clarity

3. Reliability

4. Diligence

Our Name and Logo

The Name – “Alpha Fiber”

In the brain, the alpha fiber is the largest and fastest connection between 2 brain cells. It has many fatty rings called myelin that wrap around the axon (like duct tape around a garden hose).

The Logo

“A” in the negative space off to the right. F is the top 2 bars.

The colors

Red – negative
Black – positive
In physics and in business

The Bars

Myelin. The bars represent the myelin of the alpha fiber in the brain. The bars also represent data and speed (the lines drawn behind a person to represent motion).
The sharp corners represent precision.
