The new Concussion Recognition & Response app (by PAR) helps coaches and parents recognize whether an individual is exhibiting/reporting the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Using information from the CDC’s “Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports” program, the app guides users through a set of questions to determine the likelihood of a suspected concussion based on observations by the parent or coach as well as symptoms reported by the athlete. The app lets users record pertinent information and share it via email with health care professionals and also provides a system for post-injury follow-up.

The app is available for $3.99 on both iOS and Android.
