Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Concussion Assessment Centers can be used in all populations and has been studied in children as young as seven.

However, the quality and consistency of the test can be affected by two factors – the natural maturation process of attention, and Intra-pupillary Distance (IPD), As a result, Concussion Assessment Centers data may be less reliable in children who have not yet reached puberty (when attention begins to mature) or those with very small IPD.

Therefore, it is recommended that for best results, Concussion Assessment Centers be used with children aged 12 or older.

Concussion Assessment Centers can be used at the point of care during a comprehensive clinical evaluation performed by licensed medical provider, in the serial monitoring of the rehabilitation for optimization of dynamic vision for specific life or sport requirements.

The results are generated instantaneously following the completion of each assessment. They are provided tn both a visual dashboard for clinician interpretation and as a numeric value, representing the variance metrics used by Concussion Assessment Centers.

Absolutely. The Concussion Assessment Centers platform is a complimentary tool that can be used in conjunction with most commonly used neurocognitive assessments available today.

The Concussion Assessment Centers platform is a Virtual Reality (VR) based eye tracking system that can assess brain health and improve visual performance. The technology consists of a battery of assessments that can be used to rapidly detect impaired cognitive function – often manifesting as ocular-motor and oculo-vestibular system deficits.

Once these impairments are identified, trained clinicians can use various paradigms for monitoring improvement over time or to provide visual training to improve dynamic vision.

Your clinician may choose to use Concussion Assessment Centers to provide objective data about your brain health and performance. Your clinician may better understand your symptoms and how to treat them if they are aware of the source of dysfunction that is causing the symptoms. This ultimately leads to the creation of a more specific and tailored plan for your recovery, ultimately allowing you to return to activities of daily life without complications, and with the comfort of knowing your condition has resolved properly.

In many cases, early detection of impaired function is what is needed in order to establish a comprehensive and targeted treatment approach.The goal of this approach is to ensure a timely and appropriate recovery.

Each Assessment is less than 60 seconds in length, creating an easy process for non-invasive screening and identification of visual and vestibular impairment.

The technology used by Concussion Assessment Centers was developed over a 15-year period of extensive scientific research in collaboration with the US Department of Defense and the Brain Trauma Foundation. As a result, Concussion Assessment Center’s clinical utility has been extensively documented in dozens of publications and continues to be utilized in numerous ongoing studies today.

In 2016, the FDA cleared this technology for viewing, recording, and analyzing eye movements in support of visual impairment identification. In 2019, the FDA selected Concussion Assessment Centers as Breakthrough Device Designation for aid to concussion assessment.
