Add Iowa State University to the list of believers in SyncThink’s EYE-SYNC technology. The Cyclones’ football and wrestling programs will be using the VR eye-tracking tech to quickly and objectively make a concussion assessment.
ISU’s staff will use EYE-SYNC on the sidelines and as part of the return-to-play protocol. By assessing ocular-motor synchronization deficits, the tool can measure impairments in just one minute. The rapid assessment time is a big reason the Cyclones chose SyncThink.
“We chose to incorporate EYE-SYNC into our concussion identification and management plan combining it with our existing technology to provide us with quick, objective data assessing potential ocular-motor dysfunction as the initial part of our evaluation process,” ISU Director of Sports Medicine and Associate Athletic Director Mark Coberley said in a statement.
