Reebok Named as CES Innovations 2014 Design and
Engineering Award Honoree
Brand’s Groundbreaking Sports Activity Impact Indicator, the
Reebok CHECKLIGHT, honored in the Health & Fitness Category
NEW YORK--Reebok was named an International CES Innovations 2014 Design and
Engineering Awards Honoree for the Reebok CHECKLIGHT™, a groundbreaking
sports activity impact indicator designed for athletes of all ages and
skill-levels.
The CHECKLIGHT™ skullcap is for use in all helmeted and non-helmeted contact sports and activities. CHECKLIGHT™ uses multiple motion sensors to provide actionable impact data to help assess an athlete before continuing to play. An easy-to-read display of red and yellow lights indicate the level of impact. The Reebok CHECKLIGHT™ is the first impact indicator that comfortably fits wearable electronics directly on the athlete, not on the athlete’s protective equipment. Embedding flexible electronics into a closely fitting skullcap helps to accurately measure direct accelerations in real-time.
Paul Litchfield, Reebok’s Head of Advanced Concepts, will be available to speak to media during the annual CES show in Las Vegas, NV, from January 7-9, 2014. All interviews and appointments will be conducted from the Reebok Booth at CES, located in South Hall 2, Booth number 26718.
In order to schedule appointments, please email Sandra.Carreon-John at sandra.carreon-john@mcsaatchi.com or marissa.adamo@mcsaatchi.com.
Reebok CHECKLIGHT™ will be displayed in The Venetian at the 2014 International CES, which runs January 7-10. Honorees will also be displayed at CES Unveiled: The Official Media Event of the International CES from 4-7 p.m. on Sunday, January 5 in South Seas Ballroom C at Mandalay Bay.
