IMPROVED ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF BRAIN INJURIES USING A COMBINATION OF INSTRUMENTED MOUTHGUARD DEVICES AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE TESTING
The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to technology adapted for improved assessment of brain injuries in a human subject. In overview, improved assessment of brain injuries, and improved brain injury management, is chevied using a combination of impact-related data derived from instrumented mouthguard devices and human function performance testing. This human function performance testing may include brain function performance testing, and/or other forms of human function performance testing. This involves combining a data-driven understanding of a head impact event (based on data collected via an instrumented mouthguard device) with a data-driven understanding of human human function performance following that head impact event.
