Mobile App for TBI Assessment

SPRING 2017 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES

Pl: Anna Hohler, Neurology, MED
Co-Pls: Monica Parker-James, Medicine, MED

This project is developing a mobile gaming application for those exposed to head trauma. The app would engage users in a fun way while it conducted a preliminary assessment of the head trauma and then used that data to make a recommendation regarding the necessity of seeking medical care. Researchers plan to beta test the app with ROTC students and student athletes. The project will capitalize on BU’s vast expertise of TBI research in an effort to make substantial progress in the utilization of technology to improve the study, training, assessment, and treatment of TBI.

This work is funded by a Digital Health Initiative Research Award made in June, 2017.
