90% of traumatic brain Injuries go un-diagnosed. Brain injuries often need hospital diagnosis

 

Instant Brain Health Insights With Objective Results In Real-Time.

 

Brain Health Now (BHN) is a UK MedTech company developing a portable EEG headband that connects to a smartphone to detect brain injury in real time. Using AI-supported software, it provides rapid assessment outside hospitals.

Designed for sport, defence, and high-risk workplaces, the system delivers instant guidance — “fit to play” or “seek care” — helping identify injuries earlier and reduce long-term health risks while easing pressure on healthcare services.

BHN is currently conducting academic validation trials, refining its hardware for scalable manufacturing, and improving its machine-learning models. The project will also contribute to building the UK’s largest anonymised EEG dataset for future AI and clinical research.

Working with partners including Leeds Carnegie and Nottingham University, BHN is preparing for rapid deployment following validation, helping position the UK at the forefront of next-generation brain trauma detection.

A Lifelong Record For Your Brain Health

Brain Health Now is a UK MedTech company developing a portable EEG headband that connects to a smartphone app to assess brain health instantly outside hospitals.

Designed for sport, defence, and high-risk workplaces, the lightweight wearable provides fast, objective brain monitoring at the point of impact. This helps coaches, medics, and supervisors make safer, evidence-based decisions when brain injury or concussion is suspected.

By bringing hospital-grade brain monitoring to real-world environments, Brain Health Now aims to improve early detection of brain injuries that often go undiagnosed due to the lack of rapid, reliable assessment tools.

1,200,000 Head Injuries Are Un-Recognised Annually

The system provides immediate readings of brain activity, analysed by advanced software to offer a clear “fit to play” or “seek further care” recommendation. It also creates a secure, lifelong brain health record for each user, offering valuable long-term insight.

In parallel, anonymised brain data from consenting users will be added to what we aim to become the largest EEG database in the world, a powerful resource for future research into concussion, dementia, PTSD, and other neurological conditions.

Where BHN’s Technology Works

Athletes

Several contact sports (e.g. football, hockey, lacrosse, and wrestling) are known for high rates of head injuries. While improved gear, stronger regulations, and player education has helped with raising awareness, there is a diagnostic void for proper identification of players affected by a mTBI.

Uniformed Services

TBI is a significant health issue for service men and women due to injuries that occur during training and military operations. The impact of which affects the level of unit readiness and troop retention. The Army has noted that combat medics need to be able to accurately and objectively assess soldiers with mild to moderate TBI

Concussion in Sport. Background

Since early 2021, the Government has been working to understand what more can be done to improve the understanding around, prevention of, and management of head injuries in sport.
This has involved discussions at ministerial and official level with a wide range of individuals and organisations, including:

  • Former and current sportspeople, and those with close experience of the effects of sports-related brain injury
  • National Governing Bodies: leadership and medical professionals
  • Player associations
  • Sports councils
  • Other sports organisations, including, but not limited to, professional and elite clubs
  • Medical experts domestically and internationally
  • Academics and academic organisations domestically and internationally
  • The Devolved Administrations
  • Not-for-profit organisations and campaigns
  • Technology and research start-ups and ongoing businesses

The Government also appointed Laurence Geller CBE as ministerial adviser on concussion in sport in July 2021. Mr Geller is a leading expert in dementia care and is a pioneer in bringing the latest research and technology to bespoke dementia care facilities. He has a background in the care business, hospitality, sports and charity sectors, including co-founding the Love of the Game charity.

The aim of this approach has been to gather ideas and evidence to help articulate and facilitate the new actions the Government can take. In this, Government’s overall aims are to:

  • Raise awareness of the frequency and the dangers of head injury in sports
  • Improve consistency of messaging about concussion
    across sports at all levels
  • Clarify and facilitate the improvement of the multiple health pathways involved in brain injury, trauma and concussion in sports
  • Facilitate better coordination, prioritisation and actionable translation of research projects and sharing of findings
  • Strengthen the links between the sports and technology sectors to develop and harness innovations more rapidly.
