System for estimating brain injury

A system for detecting an injury to a brain, the injury being caused by a force applied to a portion of a user, the system comprising:

• at least one sensor configured to output force data specifying the force applied to a portion of the user;
• at least one processing device configured for communication with the at least one sensor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving the force data from the sensor, the force data including values of force that include at least one value indicating an amount of the force applied to the portion of the user and at least one value indicating a direction of the force applied to the portion of the user;
• accessing a machine learning model configured to generate mapping data specifying a weighting for at least one relation between the values of force and values of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data that specify changes in a functional responsiveness, functional or structural integrity, or both the functional responsiveness and the functional or structural integrity of the brain at one or more locations in the brain, the values of force associated with the one or more locations and representing a force distribution across the brain;
• estimating, based on the mapping data and the force data, an amount of force loading at one or more particular locations in the brain based on the force distribution across the brain represented by the values of force;
• and
• generating, based on the estimating, output data representing an amount of damage to the brain at the one or more particular locations in the brain.
