New App Helps Diagnose Concussions

 

Have you potentially sustained a traumatic head injury during a sports game? There’s an App for that! A Wichita State University alumnus Chase Curtiss has developed an app called “Sway Balance” which can test the balance of players after they potentially sustain a concussion during a game or practice. Although it doesn’t diagnose concussions, the App gives trainers and coaches a baseline other than subjective observation from which to detect potentially dangerous head injuries. Already approved by the FDA, this app is out and ready to start helping detect brain injuries everywhere. Click here to read Roy Wenzl's article in The Wichita Eagle and to watch a video of the app in action... "Smartphone application can assist with concussion detection, treatment"
