Here are five key points:
1. SyncThink is a neurotechnology company that is leading the use of eye tracking to detect concussions and other brain injuries. The eye tracking system evaluates ocular motor
impairments and vestibular balance dysfunction.
2. The test is done in 60 seconds to help determine whether an athlete should return to the game. SyncThink, however, does not diagnose concussions; instead, it helps identify
impairments related to brain injury and aids in further medical decisions.
3. Jam Ghajar, MD, a clinical professor and director of the Stanford (Calif.) Concussion and Brain Performance Center, developed SyncThink’s Eye-Sync technology. He hopes this
technology will take the guessing out of the decision making for athletes and medical professionals.
4. SyncThink has begun partnering the with university athletic programs including Stanford University, Iowa State University and the University of Texas.
5. Mr. Fleener and other advisory board members will track the progress of athletes after using Eye-Sync. He looks forward to see how this technology can impact youth sports in the
future.
