Concussion Recognition & Response (CRR)

Description:

The Concussion Recognition & Response mobile app is a tool for sport coaches and parents to help identify if an individual has suffered a concussion. The program starts with the question, ‘Was there a likely blow to the head?' and then takes you through a list of signs/symptoms. If a possible concussion is identified, the app will suggest you should seek a medical examination. The program lasts less than 5 minutes and is available for iPhone and Android users.
