The HeadCheck™ concussion app is an evidence‑based tool designed for children and adults and is available for research purposes only. Developed by leading concussion experts at the AFL, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and The Royal Children’s Hospital, HeadCheck™ is used as part of research to help adult players, parents, coaches and first aiders recognise the signs of concussion, determine whether medical attention may be required, and support safe return to school, study, work, play and organised sport.

Restored peace and order!

Tonight I was out having dinner when I heard a little girl crying, she was holding her head as she ran past me to her mother. As they turned around I would see a lump the size of a golf ball on her head. The mother was getting into a panic and ask the restaurant for some ice, I grabbed my phone and immediately opened my HeadCheck app, walked over and introduced myself and said is it ok if I ask you a few questions, both were ok, went through all the questions and answers and by the end of the questions we were able to determine if she needed to go to emergency. The mum was so grateful for me being there and was able to keep her calm. All in all the app was brilliant and easy to follow, gave very specific instructions via the cards, thank you 😄

My daughter banged her her with another child in dance. It seemed minor but within an hour she was vomiting. Using this app I was able to monitor her symptoms and ended up seeking medical assistance which determined she did have concussion. I’ve since continued using it for her recovery plan and to monitor her symptoms improving.

Can easily be used to take the guess work out of deciding on whether your child has a concussion or not and what to do.

A must have for any parent. The language used in the app is very simple and doesn't require prior medical knowledge.

Fixed an issue with daily reminders and improved overall app stability.
