Georgia athletics took a step up in the ongoing battle against concussions and head injuries Monday morning. The university announced a partnership with SyncThink for use of their technology called Eye-Sync. All 19 of UGA’s athletics programs will have access to the technology. SyncThink has deals with other college programs as well as a few professional sports franchises.
EYE-SYNC works with a virtual reality headset that connects to a tablet. Trainers will have both with them on sidelines ready for use at all times. EYE-SYNC can’t diagnose concussions, but it can detect visual impairments that may be a result of concussions.
