Along with our partners at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice, and Boston University, Simbex has received continued funding for our Center for Translation of Rehabilitation Engineering Advances and Technology (TREAT). TREAT provides commercialization services to accelerate commercialization of rehabilitation and assistive technology solutions for both clinical and consumer use. TREAT is funded by the National Center for Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) at NIH.
2014
The game changing InSite Impact Response System ® is a 2014 NH High Tech Council "Product of the Year" finalist
InSite Impact Response System® is a 2014 Edison Award Gold Medal Winner based on its human-centered design and innovation to enable widespread impact monitoring in sports.
Simbex delivers Reactive Agility Perturbation Platform to the University of Delaware to facilitate advanced rehabilitation therapy for individuals recovering from ACL injury.
Simbex partners with TheraTorr, Inc to develop a novel support surface system for the prevention and relief of pressure ulcers. Fast-track (Phase I and II) SBIR funding is secured from the National Institutes of Health to support technical development and pre-clinical testing.
2013
Riddell launches the InSite Impact Response System® for commercial sale throughout North America. InSite is an affordable head impact exposure monitor capable of accurately measuring head impacts in football and alerting sideline personnel of high-risk behavior.
InSite Impact Response System® is demonstrated as a featured health and fitness technology by Texas Instruments at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Simbex delivers Head Injury Dosimeter (HID) technology to the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) to simultaneously measure over-pressurization and impact force experienced by individuals exposed to blast events.
Simbex partners with a network of clinicians, researchers, technologists, and business development specialists to form the New England Pediatric Device Consortium (NEPDC). NEPDC is a non-profit foundation supported by the FDA Office of Orphan Product Development to accelerate technology translation and commercialization of pediatric medical devices.
The HIT System head impact database exceeds 2M impacts recorded from the field of play. Information is recorded from over 2,000 male and female athletes participating in football, hockey, soccer, boxing, and snow sports.
2012
Simbex co-sponsors the Rehabilitation Engineering and Technology Society (RESNA) Developer's Forum at the 2012 RESNA Annual Conference in conjunction with TREAT. This mechanism is used to award the inaugural TREAT/RESNA Design Prize and Mini-fellowship for promising assistive technology products.
InSite Impact Response System® successfully completes field trials at prominent high school programs throughout the country.
Simbex successfully demonstrates HID technology to the U.S. Army's USAARL and PEO Soldier divisions. HID employs a single, thin-film sensor to simultaneously measure blast overpressurization and blunt impact force applied to the head.
Simbex is recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of America's fastest growing companies based on year‐over‐year growth. Simbex was ranked 67 on the top 100 engineering companies on the list and was ranked 30 for New Hampshire companies on the list.
2011
Simbex, Dartmouth Medical School, and Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth are awarded a multi-year grant from the National Operating Committee on Standards in Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) to leverage our collective expertise in large scale data analysis and finite element modeling. Results from this effort will lay the foundation for developing new helmet testing standards.
Simbex receives an NIH SBIR FastTrack award to develop and commercialize our reactive agility technology, a sports performance and rehabilitation training approach for improved neuromuscular control to prevent and recover from ACL injuries.
Simbex's ActiveGait technology is used by Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston MA to monitor the daily gait characteristics of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) for classifying toe-walking severity. ActiveGait effectively combines Simbex's ultra-low power electronics design with classifying algorithms based on real-world data to monitor gait kinematics during daily activity.
Simbex offices are renovated and expanded to accommodate growth. New space offers greater versatility for engineers, designers, and leaders to collaborate through open meeting spaces and improved workflow in the design space. The newly renovated space better reflects our core values, culture, and belief in an open innovation framework.
2010
Simbex partners with experts in the fields of clinical effectiveness trials and engineering design to establish the Center for Translation of Rehabilitation Engineering Advances and Technology (TREAT). By leveraging funding provided by The National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) at the NIH, TREAT provides assistive technology developers access to commercialization expertise and resources to evaluate and commercialize their devices.
Simbex receives a US Army SBIR Phase II award to develop and test a next-generation blast monitoring and alerting system. The technology will provide medical personnel immediate feedback on potentially injurious blast exposure sustained by soldiers in theater.
Salomon presents results from a multi-year study that included ski resorts across Europe and North America to evaluate a next‐generation electronic binding. Simbex provided Salomon large-scale data analysis expertise to develop and implement novel release algorithms.
2009
Simbex receives a US Army SBIR award to expand novel thin-film sensing technology into a next generation blast monitoring and alerting system. This technology will overcome limitations of sensing technologies previously employed by the military that were largely unsuccessful when implemented in theater.
Simbex completes technology transfer of an affordable head impact exposure monitor to Riddell. The new monitoring system, based on Simbex's thin-film sensing technology, will extend Riddell's product offerings to all youth, high school, and college football programs. Development and verification efforts are largely supported through Simbex's NIH Fast Track SBIR.
Simbex demonstrates technical feasibility of a novel implantable prosthetic device in both a surrogate model and cadaveric specimen. The innovative implantable device mimics the femoral condyles, allowing for direct weight bearing through the distal femur and reduction in femoral rotation in above‐knee amputees.
2000-2008
The HIT System head impact database grows to over 1,000,000 impacts. This rich database is inclusive of youth, high school, collegiate, and professional football and hockey players.
Simbex commercially launches the ActiveStep Fall Prevention System™ that integrates a proprietary training protocol with a highly controlled platform that simulates trips and slips.
Simbex is featured in Time Magazine's 2007 "Inventions of the Year" for their work with Riddell on impact monitoring and with iWalk on a powered prosthesis
