Concussion Diagnostic Tool Offered to Head Injury Patients Across SoCal Works in 4 Minutes

 Watermark Medical Partners, LLC is one of the first healthcare service organizations in California to move beyond the “follow my finger” method for diagnosing a concussion. We now have the newest technology for assessing concussions, a solution called the EyeBOX®. US-based company Oculogica manufactures the EyeBOX®, and using it to assess patient head injuries is as simple as watching TV. 

This device is the only FDA-cleared concussion diagnostic tool that can diagnose a concussion objectively. And, it doesn’t require a pre-injury baseline test. Because of this, EyeBox eliminates the guesswork around diagnosing a concussion. Additionally, it’s approved for both children and adults.

How this Concussion Diagnostic Tool Works

Research shows that patients can develop abnormal or impaired eye movements after a brain injury like a concussion. Clinicians can conduct post-head injury evaluation by tracking a patient’s eye movements with the EyeBOX. The tool is unique in that it detects subtle eye movement changes in patients who sustained a head injury. These eye movement changes are a window into brain function and would go unnoticed if not for the EyeBOX.

Taking the EyeBOX test is like having your eyes checked. The patient faces the device and places their chin and forehead onto a rest to watch a short video. During this time, the EyeBOX analyzes their eye movement data. It uses this unique information to generate an individualized assessment or BOX Score. The resulting BOX Score indicates whether any abnormal eye movement correlates with a head injury. This informs neurologists and healthcare providers of the severity of the patient’s concussion.
