Company Summary
In 2011, Sidney Crosby, was hit in the head in a hockey game. He likely had a concussion but played the next game where he was hit again and then sat out for a year. He had "Second Impact Syndrome", which permanently injures 200,000. kills 50,000 athletes every year and costs America $20,000 per person or roughly $4-billion dollars annually. The HeadCheck app aims to reduce these instances by improving the concussion assessment process with mobile software, improved & objective measures, and data management solutions.
Since launching our product 90 days ago, we've sold our services to 9 customers, established relationships with key stakeholders in the Canadian Intra-University Sports league (CIS), the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and Canadian Provincial Sporting Organizations, and are now serving over 50 teams or over 1500 athletes.
