This prospective interventional study will collect data pertaining to demographics, pre-injury factors, injury circumstances and concussion symptomology via online platforms for consenting participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These data elements will be correlated with recovery, particularly time to symptom resolution, using machine learning approaches. The output from the machine learning models in the first phase of this project, will be used to revise care recommendatio .... Read more

This project will leverage and expand the validated HeadCheck application (app) into an app and website to collect data elements predictive of outcome following mTBI across all States and Territories in Australia. Participants will be followed up through their preferred online platform (app or website) to complete a concussion symptom questionnaire on day 1, 3, 7 post injury. At 2 weeks following injury, and then fortnightly until 3 months post injury (or until symptom resolution), participants .... Read more
Control group Active
Participants recruited in phase 1 of the study and treated using the existing HeadCheck care pathways will form the control group. The treatment will be a guided recovery program through the app based on an individuals concussion symptoms and activity tolerances. The treatment program (care pathways) will provide 2 weeks of suggested activities as the treatment.
Outcome: Concussion symptoms as scored on the Rivermead Post-concussion Questionnaire for adults and the Post Concussion Symptom Inventory for children.Timepoint: Day 1, 3, 7, post injury, At 2 weeks following injury, and then fortnightly until 3 months post injury. 3 months following injury and then monthly for people who are still experiencing concussion-related symptoms until 12 months post injury or until symptom resolution.
