The BC Hockey League will be utilizing a new concussion testing and management solution for the upcoming season.
The system, developed by HeadCheck Health, is said to simplify the way concussion protocols are implemented and executed, using a web-based reporting dashboard, enabling administrators to monitor concussion protocol compliance.
Company founder and CEO Harrison Brown, says the system allows teams to assess concussions more easily, enabling them to make data-driven decisions to benefit each player in the BCHL.
Each of the 17 BCHL member teams will use the system to perform baseline, post-injury and pre-return-to-play concussion tests. Medical professionals can also use the system to access test results to allow for more informed decisions before clearing concussed players to return to the ice.
“Player safety is of utmost importance to the BCHL,” said league commissioner John Grisdale,
“Our athletic therapists will now have instant access to a reliable concussion assessment tool during practices and games in order to make appropriate sideline medical decisions. The HeadCheck app will also assist the league with monitoring and tracking league-wide concussion protocol compliance.”
