Average rating:

Developer’s Description: The CRR is an educational tool that assists parents and coaches in recognizing the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Other features include home symptom monitoring, guidance for return to play, ACE Post-concussion Home/School instructions, and FAQs about concussions. The app was authored by Dr. Gerard Gioia from Childrens National Medical Center and Jason Mihalik from Matthew Gfeller TBI Research Center at UNC. Utilizing the CDC’s list of signs and symptoms from the Heads Up program, the app provides parents and coaches with useful tools that assist with concussion recognition and treatment. Current PARtners include Xenith, Childrens National Medical Center, Safe Kids USA, Matthew Gfeller TBI Research Center, and Youth Football Coaches Association. The CRR is unique because proceeds from app sales are donated to concussion research and de-identified incident data will be used to further concussion research.

MOBILE APPS SHOWDOWN

The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try them, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile it's in the competition.

The top ten apps will join us at CES 2012 for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show.
