Concussion app gauges recovery

As the incidence of and focus on concussion grows, the neurotech community continues to develop diagnostic tools and treatment protocols.

One such tool is the NYU developed Concussion Tracker app,  and corresponding study, designed to track self-reported physical and cognitive function after concussion.  The app does not, however, diagnose concussion.

The goal is to monitor recovery with greater detail and regularity,  to better evaluate treatment and identify persistent issues.   The project is led by NYU’s Laura BalcerDennis Cardone, and Paul Testa.

Testa said  the collected data will be used to  develop a new recovery evaluation app that in the future could shape recovery protocols.
