Q30 Innovations' flagship product, the Q-Collar, applies light pressure around the neck to increase blood volume in the brain's venous structures, minimizing internal brain movement that can cause brain injury upon collision, per a press release.

"I'm proud to recognize Q30's innovative work, and I look forward to seeing how their up-and-coming device might be used to protect servicemembers and others at risk for TBIs," Murphy, a Democrat, says.
