Pick up your phone and use an app to ask a series of questions and the app will decide the chances that a player has actually suffered a concussion. The questions used come directly from the Centers for Disease Control. This app, which can be purchased from Apple’s App store for $3.94, has a list of symptoms that will help in the decision to remove a player from a game or seek medical attention. In fact, it has a “Return to Play” feature helping you decide when to allow the player to return to practice and game status. Also comes with a feature to email a doctor, if further medical advice is needed.
