CONCUSSIONS
Every 21 seconds in the United States, someone sustains a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)*
Nurochek is a compact, FDA-cleared medical device that aims to standardise evaluations across healthcare facilities for the aid in diagnosis of concussion (mild traumatic brain injury or mTBI).
What is a concussion?
A concussion is a frequently encountered form of mild traumatic brain injury that happens when the brain undergoes a sudden shaking or jolt inside the skull. This can result from a direct impact to the head or body during sports, falls, or car accidents.
In the past, concussions were often viewed as minor injuries that would quickly heal on their own. However, recent research indicates that concussions can be quite serious, with symptoms and recovery time varying widely in intensity.
There’s growing concern about potential long-term issues stemming from repeated subconcussive impacts, which may not show immediate symptoms, as well as ongoing microscopic brain damage. As a result, many sports organisations are revising their guidelines to reflect these new insights.
“There is no such thing as a good concussion – we need to manage each concussion seriously.”
— Dr Adrian Cohen, Founder & CEO
Concussion is serious
Many undiagnosed concussions
Risk long-term damage and high treatment costs.
Concussion symptoms are often subjective
Diagnosis relies on self-reporting by individuals which can lead to under-reporting and missing diagnosis
Current assessments are lengthy
Doctors have no suitable tools, relying on clinical experience primarily and/or baseline comparisons
Not well monetised for doctors
Time-intensive diagnosis restricts patient numbers and available reimbursement
Nurochek addresses the current limitations and time constraints that result in underuse of tests by most clinicians:
