HeadCheck

HeadCheck is a clinically validated concussion assessment and management app developed by concussion experts at AFL, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, and the Royal Children’s Hospital. Designed for both children and adults, this evidence-based tool offers swift recognition of concussion symptoms using the latest CRT5 and SCAT/SCAT5 assessments, enabling users to determine the need for medical attention quickly.

The app supports players, parents, coaches, and first aiders in high-stress scenarios by prioritizing medical questions, identifying urgent needs (including direct connection to emergency services), and facilitating detailed incident reporting and care transfer. HeadCheck also offers a personalized concussion recovery guide based on symptom severity and progress, guiding safe return to school, work, and sports. Recognized by the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG ID 343450), HeadCheck is essential for effective post-concussion care and management.
