Field Implementation of iDETECT

Implementation of iDETECT for Field Triage of mTBI in Football Players

The purpose of this study is to assess a new screening tool for sideline evaluation of concussion injuries in athletes. iDETECT is a new technology that combines several elements of recommended concussion screening tools into a single, portable device.

The goal of the research is to evaluate the use of a multimodal platform (iDETECT) for immediate post-injury neuropsychological, balance and oculomotor assessment, and to evaluate the iDETECT platform as a return-to-play assessment tool during the post injury management period following concussion.
