“We’re building the social solution to screen time.” Asha Bakhai is the CEO and founder of Snitch and an alum of @ImperialDyson School of Design Engineering. Snitch is a platform to help to reduce screen time. And for @LDNTechWeek, we asked Asha to explain how she’s brought together a team of design engineers to use behavioural science to tackle the screen time challenge and how Imperial is helping young people with awesome ideas to make them a reality.

Many industrial helmets may not provide consistent protection under the types of impacts workers experience during falls and trips. To address this gap, researchers evaluated six helmet designs under controlled impact conditions simulating real-world falls, using angled anvils, varied impact locations, and two surface types. Foam-based helmets generally outperformed suspension-based designs, while the latter showed greater sensitivity to where impacts occurred, with the highest accelerations observed in front impacts near the rim, followed by rear impacts. Incorporating a rotation reduction system (Multi-directional Impact Protection System, MIPS) lowered rotational acceleration in one model, highlighting the importance of managing both linear and rotational forces. By revealing design-dependent differences in impact response, this work points to opportunities for helmet designs and standards that better account for rotational motion and real-world workplace conditions.
