Abstract
A system and method for detecting or verifying recovery from concussion includes a headset or head-attachable device placed against the head of a patient who has exhibited concussion. In the device is an accelerometer for detecting and measuring natural motions of the head due to blood flow in the brain. After a prescribed number of days post-concussion, when the patient returns to physical activity, the accelerometer data from natural motions are analyzed to determine whether concussion persists. Preferably a gross movement accelerometer is also included in the head-attachable device, to record gross movements of the head, so as to correlate any increase in concussion-indicating data with the return to physical activity.
