A mobile device is programmed with an application that uses the mobile device's camera, accelerometer and microphone to enable a parent, coach or player to use it as a tool to diagnose a concussion. The tool may diagnose concussion on the basis of one or multiple factors that are scored, for example the player's balance, eye movement, speech responses to questions, button pressing response time, and other information about the location of the impact. A mobile device may be equipped with speech recognition and voice prompting to enable a concussion examination of a player to be administered by another player or coach to the injured player without significant effort by the injured player or helper. Each test may be scored, by itself or against one or more baselines for the injured player to develop an overall score and likelihood of a concussion. When the coach thinks there is a concussion, he/she can use the application to help find a doctor. When the coach is not sure about the test results, he/she can send the machine learning annotated data to an online doctor for reviewing.
