Limpert Tech on iHeartRadio: Mike Shogren, CEO of Prevent Biometrics, Smart Mouthguards

Mike Shogren is the CEO of Prevent Biometrics, the most independently validated head impact monitoring system in the world. Mike joined Prevent in 2016 and the company has since partnered with over 200 organizations, 10 governing bodies and deployed 20,000+ smart mouthguards.

He joins Rick this week.

Shogren is a longtime Minnesota resident, who logged many years of his life as a youth sports advocate. At a young age, Mike’s son suffered a devastating concussion leading to years of symptoms that could’ve been easily diagnosed/treated with a better protocol in place.

Because of this, Shogren conducted his own research only to find that many head impact tools were either inaccurate or had little to no validation in the market. That’s when he was introduced to Prevent Biometrics, who at the time was developing a smart mouthguard that measured the g-force of head impacts in real time.

He joined Prevent as CEO and set out with one goal: bring this technology to athletes and parents at every level of sports. They’ve since become an industry leader for head injury protocol.

Mike’s work has led to the largest head impact study to date and the research is now prompting sports organizations around the world to adopt the tech.
