About this study
The purpose of this study is to further demonstrate the value of the components of our objective diagnosis and quantification of severity: the NeuroCatch quantified electroencephalogram, the King-Devick test, blood biomarkers, and metabolomics profiling. Wearable accelerometers (Triax SIM-G) and video footage will provide data to correlate concussive injuries with physical parameters and mechanisms of injury. Time on Ice tracking will allow for calculation of Individual Exposure Time (IET).
