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.

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: Work To Date

The Berlin Concussion in Sport Group Consensus Statement:

The 5th Berlin Concussion in Sport Group Consensus Statement provides a global summary of the then current views of best practice in concussion prevention, diagnosis and management, underpinned by systematic reviews and expert consensus. The consensus drew from over 30 contributors to the concussion statement, with a further 40 individuals giving representation.

The international quadrennial conference on concussion in sport was held in Berlin in October 2016. The next conference was originally scheduled to meet in Paris in 2020, but due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the 6th conference has now been rescheduled to take place in Amsterdam in October 2022, with the revised consensus statement expected to be published in early 2023.

Individual sports adapt concussion guidelines according to their specific regulatory environment, due to the different settings and rules. Consistent application of the Berlin Consensus Statement’s themes across sporting codes has helped to facilitate improved diagnosis and management, and concussion education, and to highlight collaborative research opportunities.

However, such consensus statements are not necessarily the final word on the issue. They do not alleviate the need for consistent and coordinated UK action to ensure that sports at all levels benefit from having the most advanced research, technology, equipment, protocols and education that is available. Such consensus statements do provide a reasonable starting point to develop a “base line”, to be used when developing national protocols for this country. Such protocols will be continuously developed as knowledge, technology, product and equipment developments and improvements, innovation, research and processes continue to evolve.

Existing protocols have so far been uncoordinated across the multiple sporting bodies and there remain differing views among the various constituent stakeholders as to their relative levels of effectiveness. The Government is committed to working with all sports to build on the positive work that is already taking place in the sporting sector, while improving coordination, communication and consistency.
