NRL & AFL Expansion
iMGs were introduced to the National Rugby League (NRL), with over 500 iMGs deployed to understand the impact and severity of head impacts.
900 Nexus A9 iMGs were deployed across AFL teams, scaling data collection by monitoring athletes and capturing head impacts.

AFL Partnership & Innovation
HIT IQ secured its position as the standard for impact monitoring in Australian football through a league-wide agreement with the AFL, deploying 3,000 Nexus A9 iMGs across all 18 teams, including elite, community, junior, and AFLW levels. Over 2,000 additional iMGs have been deployed globally in the past two years. Patents were secured, research partnerships established, and third-party risk models developed using HIT IQ’s growing dataset.
Elite Partnerships & North American Growth
Partnerships with the Canterbury Crusaders and Rugby Australia were strengthened, and 12 NCAA D1 Football Programs in North America captured 70,000 head impacts, growing the global databank.
Market Leadership
Over 4,000 iMGs were deployed worldwide, backed by robust IP, contributing to the largest global database over 7 years and establishing HIT IQ's leadership in athlete safety, risk models, and policy influence.
