Did You Know?

One in three parents (34%) report they have no or very little knowledge about concussion.

Half of those surveyed are not aware of the concussion signs related to emotional wellbeing such as feeling anxious (49%) or irritable (61%)

28% surveyed were not aware that concussion can happen without losing consciousness or getting ‘knocked out’.

A quarter of parents (28%) don’t know that a child can get a concussion when they are wearing a helmet.

Over half (54%) of parents surveyed are not aware that there are treatments for concussion.

Why HeadCheck?

Why HeadCheck?

HeadCheck includes two stages... Stage 1: Concussion Check Asks questions to identify the presence of a concussion and provides real time instructions on what to do.

Monitors more serious symptoms to allow users to recognize signs and take appropriate medical action.

Content is derived from the CRT5 and SCAT6/Child SCAT6 symptom lists.
Stage 2: Concussion Recovery

Symptom assessment completed at 1, 3, and 7 days post-injury, and when all recovery tasks are complete.

CISG recommendations were translated into four recovery stages, during which users receive both education and tasks.

Validated criteria are used to determine the completion of the recovery process.

HeadCheck delivers individualised pathways to recovery by:

1. Assessing whether completing a task made symptoms worse

2. Restricting progression of some tasks by time (e.g., 24 hours)

3. Delaying some activities until others are completed (e.g., return to school must be complete before return to organised sport).
