Nurochek measures Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) combined with EEG—the electrical signals generated by your brain in response to visual stimuli. The system analyzes over 400,000 data points using proprietary AI algorithms developed over 8 years of research. These objective measurements provide insight into brain function that subjective tests cannot capture.

No. Nurochek provides functional brain data that complements structural imaging like CT. CT scans are used to rule out bleeds and structural injuries; Nurochek provides objective functional assessment of brain activity. They serve different clinical purposes and Nurochek is intended to be used alongside—not instead of—standard neurological evaluation.

Nurochek is FDA-cleared for use in individuals aged 12 to 44 years old who have sustained a potential head injury within the past 120 hours (5 days). It is intended for use in conjunction with a standard neurological assessment.

Nurochek is FDA-cleared as an aid in the diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI/concussion). It provides objective, quantitative brain function data to support clinical judgment but does not replace comprehensive clinical evaluation. Diagnosis remains a clinical decision made by qualified healthcare professionals.

Nurochek is designed for true portability. The lightweight, reusable headset connects via USB to a PC-based application. The system fits easily in a standard medical bag, making it practical for use in ERs, urgent care centers, neurology clinics, sports medicine facilities, and sideline settings.

Nurochek is an FDA-cleared, portable brain assessment device that uses EEG and Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) technology to provide objective data supporting concussion diagnosis. It analyzes over 400,000 data points and delivers results in approximately 2 minutes—without requiring a pre-injury baseline.

The Nurochek™️ test takes 2 minutes and 15 seconds (including rest). Depending on the ISP connection speed, the cloud based software result could take up to an additional 30 seconds. The total time of; minimal data entry into the software, qualifying questions (contraindications), headset placement and Nurochek test can take a total time of 5 minutes on average.

No. Unlike cognitive tests that require pre-injury baseline measurements, Nurochek does not require any prior testing. It can assess any patient within the cleared age range (12-44 years) who has sustained a potential head injury within the past 120 hours (5 days).

Nurochek can be administered by trained clinical staff, including nurses, athletic trainers, and other healthcare professionals. Comprehensive training is provided with purchase or lease to ensure consistent, reliable results.
