PAR's Concussion Apps are for Parents, Coaches, Trainers, and More!
January 17, 2017
Youth concussions are a hot topic in the news, especially in light of recent developments in a
class-action lawsuit
against the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
To help athletes, parents, coaches, trainers, and more, PAR offers two concussion apps. The
Concussion Recognition & Response™ (CRR)
app helps coaches and parents recognize whether an individual is exhibiting and/or reporting signs of a concussion. In fewer than 5 minutes, a parent or coach can complete a checklist of signs and symptoms to help determine whether to seek medical attention. The app allows users to record pertinent information regarding the child with a suspected concussion, allowing them to easily share that information with health-care providers. Post-injury, it guides parents through follow-up treatment.
The CRR app was developed by concussion experts Gerard A. Gioia and Jason Mihalik and has received accolades from former NFL quarterback Steve Young.
“As a former NFL player, national spokesperson for the Positive Coaching Alliance, and someone who has personally experienced the significant effects of a concussion, I believe every parent of a young athlete and coaches should be fully aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion in a young athlete,” Young said. “This app should be a necessary part of every comprehensive youth concussion management and awareness program.”
The
Concussion Assessment & Response™: Sport Version (CARE)
app is a tool for athletic trainers, team physicians, and other qualified health care professionals to assess the likelihood of a concussion and respond quickly and appropriately.
The CRR app is available free of charge. The CARE app costs just $4.99. Both apps are available for download through the
Apple® App Store
SM
and
Google Play
for use on your iPhone®, iPad®, iPod® Touch, Android™ device, or tablet!
