Safety should never fail.
Your customers buy your helmets to keep them safe. Tozuda helps fulfill that promise by monitoring every impact that can unknowingly compromise its integrity.
THe Value of integrating tozuda
Easily integrates into your product line
Retrofit your existing inventory with our technology or directly integrate into your new helmet designs with little to no tooling.
Accurately detects impact with lab tested precision
When our technology detects an impact at the force transmission per the helmet standard, it changes color - making it clear that it’s compromised.
Inspection takes seconds for any stakeholder
No training needed. A damaged helmet won’t protect your users - get compromised products out of use, faster.
Helmet DAMAGE is a head safety issue.
Your customers choose your helmets to safeguard the most vital part of their body: their head. Yet, many don't consider the daily wear and tear on their equipment. They secure it on their heads, hoping it never has to prove its worth.
96% of helmets are designed for a single impact.
Our surveys revealed a startling fact: users didn’t realize their helmets needed to be replaced after an impact.
A compromised helmet compromises safety. Traditional inspections aren’t enough. The minor impacts and abrasions affect a helmet's protective performance. Helmet liners and suspensions are designed to absorb damage through breaking, crumpling, rotating, or fracturing. Since liners are concealed beneath the shell, it makes it difficult to detect with standard inspection methods.
Tozuda makes this hidden damage visible.
Our goal is to protect your customers even further, ensuring they have the best protection possible when they need it the most. Tozuda is committed to promoting head safety by maintaining helmet integrity, by offering a non-electronic, cost-effective, and reliable solution to monitor those impacts.
Actionable insights on your helmet’s integrity.
A simple color change. Tozuda’s technology reacts to make the breaking force that causes damage to a helmet visible with a simple change of color, allowing your user to know when their helmet has been compromised.
Linear and rotational acceleration are both important. Tozuda’s technology moves independently, and our mechanism reacts to both linear and rotational accelerations. Most impacts are a combination of both.
Location agnostic. Placed anywhere on the shell, our patented technology will react the same way. It works from any direction, or any axis the impact occurs from.
ELECTRONICS fail.
that’s why we chose physics.
Purposefully non-electronic. Always on and ready to react. Don’t let the hassle of forgetting to charge, connect, or turn on prevent a critical feature from working.
Environmentally tested and built tough. High heat, extreme colds, electrical exposure, waterproof, fire-tested. No place is too extreme for our tech to work as intended.
ANSI, DOT, EN, CSA, CPSC, SNELL, etc. No matter what standard you’re designing your helmet to, we have a set point for the right force transmission level.
Data privacy matters to your customers. Not everyone wants to be a walking data set, especially at work. We know your customers are more likely to use and appreciate a new safety tool when it’s easy and doesn’t cross the line with tracking and monitoring their every move.
Built with your helmet in mind.
Compatible with all helmet types. Tozuda’s technology is compatible with all types of helmets, and your choice of liner. Whether you’re using styrofoam, suspension, crumple layers, low rotational friction, or a combination, our technology reacts to your helmet’s standard force transmission allowance.
Built to withstand normal use. We recorded over 12,000 impacts in an IRB approved study. Our technology is built to activate once the force transmission standard has been surpassed, not before it.
A helmet is supposed to deform. When a helmet feels an impact, the shell deforms, and force is transmitted to the liner and to the person wearing your product. That same force that can damage your helmet is visibly detected by our patented analog technology.

Impact Indicators are devices that detect a wide range of impacts, and Tozuda’s Impact Indicators do so completely without electronics. Tozuda’s Impact Indicators are able to be set at different thresholds; whether for head injury awareness, helmet damage indication, or another custom setpoint as needed. We have the ability to tailor activations between 10 and 700 G’s (G Force, a measure of acceleration.)
Impact Indicators are NOT designed to detect or prevent concussions. Impact Indicators are designed to detect or react to linear and rotational accelerations that the head may undergo. When a dangerous threshold has been reached, users and/or bystanders are alerted through the indication of the Impact Indicator when it turns colors from clear to red.
If there is any indication that a head injury has occurred, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Only a licensed medical professional can legally and properly diagnose a concussion.

While there are other impact indicators on the market, Tozuda beats them all with its patented mechanical technology that allows for no electronics and an instantaneous indication, while being user-friendly and affordable.

-
Once the indicator activates, it is no longer usable, it has to be replaced.
-
Before activation, the spring will be in a straight alignment, sitting perfectly horizontally across the middle chamber. The indicator is activated if there is any displacement within the ball-and-spring system.
When activated the middle chamber will begin to fill with red color.
