Head trauma happens everyday to millions

Millions of brain-related injuries contribute to an unknown number of future diseases, yet we have no way to measure for definitive trauma or qualify the trauma experienced.

WORLDWIDE STATISTICS
The TBI injury diagnostic global market is approaching $1.75 billion & is expected to reach $3 billion by 2028.

70

million cases of concussion annually

40

of concussive events remain undiagnosed

The current protocol for assessing brain trauma is indeterminate and slow. That ends now.

The problem

Brain-related injuries contribute to an unknown number of future diseases, yet we have no way to measure for definitive trauma or qualify the trauma experienced
