What is Concussion Tracker?
The NYU Langone Concussion Tracker is a mobile application designed to help individuals record symptoms, physical and cognitive function after being diagnosed with a concussion. The app is part of a research study aimed at exploring the use of new technology to collect key information that could improve communication between patients and physicians, particularly during the recovery phase after having a concussion.
1. The main objective of this exploratory study is to collect information using new technology, to obtain patient-completed standardized measures, and to record physical and cognitive function for two weeks after subjects have been diagnosed with a concussion, as well as to test the feasibility of our approach.
2. The purpose of this study is to explore whether using a mobile application that you download onto your iPhone can help you record symptoms as well as physical and cognitive function after the diagnosis of concussion.
3. A participant can use the notification settings on the iPhone for the NYU Langone Concussion Tracker app to control or turn off the notifications if one does not want anyone else to become aware one is in the study (by hearing a notification tone, for example).
4. Before they will be allowed to enroll in the study, participants will be asked to confirm that they are at least 18 years of age, have been diagnosed with a concussion by a healthcare provider within the past 30 days, and are under the care of a healthcare provider.
5. On a daily basis, participants will report symptoms using the NYU Langone Concussion Tracker iOS mobile app.
6. Register an account: After an individual gives his or her consent, everyone who enrolls will complete an electronic registration process through the NYU Langone Concussion Tracker app.
7. There is a need to explore new technology and to be able to use technological devices to collect key information that could improve communication between patients and physicians, particularly during the recovery phase after having a concussion.
8. Participants will download a free app from the Apple App Store, known as the NYU Langone Concussion Tracker app.
9. Concussion, the mildest form of traumatic brain injury (TBI), is a common cause of injury; more than 4 million Americans sustain such events each year (McCrory P et al., 2013).
10. On a weekly basis (for two weeks), the participants will also complete a 22-question survey via the iPhone.
11. Giving electronic consent, registering for the study on a mobile phone, and answering the first set of questions should take about 10-15 minutes.
