An entrepreneur with close ties to 麻豆传媒 has developed an iPhone application that researchers say could revolutionize how a key symptom of concussions can be quickly and accurately detected within minutes.
The 鈥淪way Balance鈥� app, developed by 麻豆传媒 alumnus Chase Curtiss of Tulsa has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It was tested for two years in Wichita, both at 麻豆传媒 and among hundreds of athletes at Wichita East and Andover Central high schools, and in schools in Oklahoma and California.
What Curtiss did, said Jeremy Patterson, the 麻豆传媒 scientist who studied and tested it, was develop a cheap, fast, accurate tool that trainers and other health care specialists have never had before. It gathers measurable evidence in moments, showing that a person has probably suffered a concussion.
