The prevention of concussions and other sports-related injuries is a major concern for athletic teams and their players. Fortunately, there has been an increase in the development of technology that can help with injury prevention. A concussion tracker app is one such tool that helps create a safer sports environment by providing real-time data about head impacts sustained by athletes during practice or play.
This app allows coaches, trainers, and parents to monitor each athlete’s risk level based on an individualized formula developed to detect potential signs of a concussion or head injury. The data collected from this system provides valuable insight into how much impact each athlete is enduring throughout the season and when they may be at higher risk for sustaining further damage. The app also provides guidance on responding appropriately when certain thresholds are reached and allows for better management of injured athletes on the field or court.
