Researchers discovered that an mHealth wearable device can detect potential concussions among contact sports athletes.

A study published in Scientific Reports described how an mHealth wearable device can recognize movements such as neck strain and whiplash and use that information to predict concussion risk in contact sports athletes.

Head injuries are a significant issue in many high-impact sports. Their frequency and prevalence lead professionals to continuously test and experiment with new care methods, as well as for ways to prevent and limit brain trauma.

While considering this, Nelson Sepulveda and his colleagues acknowledged the rapid growth of telehealth and wearable devices and believed that this could be an area of use for modern technology.
