Therefore, a more reliable solution for identifying brain injuries is needed. Nearly 50,000 people die annually from traumatic brain injury, and more than 2.5 million people are sent to the emergency room every year due to brain injury, according to the CDC. Medical experts agree that there is no universally accepted, evidence-based definition of a concussion. This is why SyncThink and the EYE-SYNC platform are critical for the health and wellbeing of athletes, soldiers, and everyday people.
When using EYE-SYNC, a football player fresh from a collision or a soldier who’s taken a blow during training puts on the EYC-SYNC headset and follows a red dot moving in a circle. In under 60 seconds, a report is generated, helping the onsite medical professional to determine whether or not the patient is safe to return to the game or training.
With the challenges involving concussion and long-term traumatic brain injury among athletes and military personnel, addressing the needs of these two groups is critical and central to SyncThink’s mission.
SyncThink’s eye-tracking technology, which Cantina helped develop into a market-ready software solution, reduces the risk of brain damage in critical post-injury moments for athletes, soldiers, and ordinary people. The software empowers people to take their brain health seriously; those on the field of battle, playing sport or living everyday life who might think that they are fine, can now be shown definitive proof by a medical professional that something is amiss. This helps to ensure that they get proper treatment and increases the likelihood for a full and complete recovery.
