The New Richmond, Wisconsin-based developer of non-invasive testing technology says the 90-second SNAP concussion test combines eye tracking with symptom severity to provide a multi-modal concussion assessment for clinicians.
SNAP works indoors and outdoors, diagnosing concussion with 90% sensitivity and 94% specificity. Oculogica said that marks the highest accuracy for a concussion test cleared by the FDA.
The non-invasive test offers easy administration and requires no pre-injury baseline. It can be used immediately after a head injury, with tests possible on the sideline or in the clinic. SNAP has a screen that displays a stimulus for the patient’s eyes to follow during the exam. Its eye-tracking camera measures eye movements for the duration of the exam. A computer then applies an analysis algorithm to the tracked eye movements to diagnose concussion.
