VANCOUVER, British Columbia - April 26, 2016 - PRLog -- The University of British Columbia has purchased the HeadCheck app to use with their Varsity Athletes for the 2016-2017 sports season.

Based in Vancouver, BC, the leadership team of UBC Varsity Athletics is concerned about the risks associated with concussions and is excited about the value HeadCheck provides. "I am happy to be using HeadCheck Health Concussion App with my student trainers for the UBC Thunderbirds. It makes performing a concussion test simple to perform and easy to record. This app has improved the speed and reliability of our pre-season screening and post injury tests." said Scott Fraser, Head Athletic Therapist at the University of British Columbia. "Concussion recognition and management is such an important part of athlete care today, I feel, as a sports administrator, this is an important investment in the health of our athletes."

"The HeadCheck app represents a revolution in remote concussion assessment," said Harrison Brown, Chief Executive Officer of HeadCheck Health. "Having an experienced team such as UBC recognize our app's potential demonstrates there is a need for new methods to assess and manage potential concussions on the sideline. We are thrilled to be sharing this milestone with UBC."

With its all-in-one testing platform and unique balance measurement system, the HeadCheck app enables athletic therapists and sports doctors to perform concussion assessments immediately on the sidelines of sporting events.

About HeadCheck Health

The HeadCheck Health app runs baseline and post-injury concussion assessments that tracks athletes' overall concussion health, and provides instant comparisons to past test performances. The mobile app is based off of the gold standard Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 3 (SCAT3). HeadCheck Health measures a number of key identifiers of a concussion - including symptoms, neurocognitive function, and balance. HeadCheck Health's key differentiator from SCAT3 is their patent-pending technology to measure an athlete's balance. The app wirelessly connects to a small, highly responsive sensor held in a lightweight headband. The sensor collects body movement data from the athlete during the balance test, which is then processed using an algorithm to calculate an accurate and reliable balance score. This allows athletic trainers and doctors to make informed sideline decisions, reducing the mismanagement of serious head injuries. The app also collects data that can provide users with an instant comparison to previous test scores, and used as a baseline for future athlete care.

HeadCheck is the most comprehensive, easy-to-use concussion assessment tool at the most affordable price. For more information on HeadCheck Health visit www.headcheckhealth.com.
