FDA approves first ever non-invasive and baseline-free concussion testing tool

This month, per MD Magazine, it was revealed that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved EyeBOX; a non-invasive and baseline-free tool that has been developed to diagnose concussions through the tracking eye movement.

The tool, which resembles the kind of equipment popular in eye-testing clinics, requires a patient to place their chin on a resting plate and look into a camera for around four minutes. The machine, according to Oculogica (EyeBOX’s creators), uses a unique algorithm to analyze 100,000 data points to determine whether or not the patient has suffered a concussion.
