The HeadSmart sports concussion app can be used by all sportspersons to measure their baseline cognitive function at any stage of the year. In the event of a head injury, a follow-up assessment on the app can be performed. This assessment will measure cognitive function again and compare it to their baseline assessment to determine if there has been any significant decline in cognition.

The HeadSmart App measures reaction time, memory, concentration and attention. These are all key measures that could be affected by a head injury. On installing the app, the organisation you belong to will send you an email link with a test credit for you to complete the assessment. This may be either a baseline or concussion assessment.

If you have not had a head injury, the assessment will be a baseline. If you have had a head injury, the assessment will be a concussion assessment.
As the app is still being validated, there is no in-app purchase option available yet. As an individual not linked to an organisation, performing an assessment won’t be possible.
