Oobly is an innovative helmet for for patients with epilepsy. The project is aimed primarily at children, in which are recorded the major problems following a sudden fall. Constant blows to the head can in fact cause in children bleeding, bruises up to the fracture of the skull. To protect the head, the devices normally used are helmets, which are not suitable for being worn over long periods of time. In addition, the aesthetics and shape of orthopaedic or cycling helmets is rarely thought of and appreciated by children aged 2-12 years. With Oobly we wanted to increase the comfort of use, and aesthetics, without compromising the safety and effectiveness of a protection system.
