ME Alum Adam Bartsch Is Co-Creator of "Intelligent" Mouthguard

Adam Bartsch, BS ME ’01 and MS ME ’04, and his colleagues at Case Western and the Cleveland Clinic are making headlines in Cleveland and across the nation. In an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Bartsch explains how he and his colleagues have created an "intelligent" mouthguard that could very realistically alter the way concussions are diagnosed and treated. Their work could have significant impact on the future of many popular sports, including the game of football, which has been dealing with the the fallout from permanent injury (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) sustained due to concussions associated with play.
