Rebion has developed a device, the Rebion trauma tool (referred to as the head and intraocular trauma tool, or "HITT"), that detects ocular fixation and alignment using a binocular retinal scan. Preliminary data obtained from hospitalized patients with a clinically-confirmed traumatic brain injury (TBI) and uninjured controls indicates that the device can detect changes in ocular fixation, alignment, and saccades that are related to brain injury. This study seeks to evaluate the ability of the Rebion trauma tool to assess perturbations in eye movements resulting from TBI. The study will enroll 60 TBI patients and 20 controls.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Controls | Participants should not be part of the Intended Use Population. Subjects that present to the hospital, clinic, or emergency department, either as a patient or non-patient, with no history of head trauma and, are 18-45 years of age. |
| |
| TBI-Suspected Patients | TBI participants 18-45 years of age, recruited from patients at a clinical research facility who present with head trauma. Clinical evaluation for the patient can be positive (target condition present) or negative (target condition absent) for mTBI. Testing will occur on Day-0, Day-14, and Day-30. |

| Head and Intraocular Trauma Tool | Device | HITT device to scan the eyes of participants up to 3 times (~45 seconds each) at the time of admittance to study. The participant is to place the chin in the chin-rest and fixate on the illuminated light on the device. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| TBI Detection | Patients who present with suspected TBI to the clinic will have their eyes scanned to identify whether the HITT device can accurately identify patients with TBI. | 1 day |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| TBI Monitor | Patients who present with suspected TBI to the clinic and had initially been tested for TBI detection will receive a second set of scans at 2 weeks to identify whether the HITT device can accurately identify patients with TBI. | 14 days |

Aggregate data and individual test reports will be made available to the HITT device manufacturer to better understand its performance at identifying TBI. Personally-identifiable data will not be shared with anyone outside of the Boston Medical Center.
Data will be shared on an ongoing basis, and cumulatively at the end of the study. Study length is expected to be 2 months from the first enrolled participant.
Data will only be shared with researchers involved in the study at the Boston Medical Center, and only trained staff members at the device manufacturer.

Blood samples will be drawn by venipuncture, collected in Serum Separator Tubes, clotted for 30-60 min, centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 15 min, and stored at -80°C until batch analysis for serum levels of four well-established brain injury biomarkers (i.e., astrocyte-derived glial fibrillary acidic protein; GFAP; neuron-derived ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolyzing enzyme L1, UCH-L1; neuron-derived total microtubule-associated protein tau, T-Tau; neuron-derived neurofilament-light chain, NF-L) using the Quanterix SIMOA Neurology 4-plex "B" kit.

Patients who present with suspected TBI to the clinic and had initially been tested for TBI detection will receive a second set fo scans at one month to identify whether the HITT device can accurately identify patients with TBI. |
