Concussion Coach

US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

About this app

Concussion Coach was designed for Veterans, Service members, and other individuals who experience physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms that may be related to mild to moderate traumatic brain injury. This app provides users with information about concussion, a self-assessment instrument for symptoms and their severity, tools to help users build resilience and manage symptoms, and recommendations for community-based resources and support. Users can customize tools based on their references and can integrate their own contacts, photos, and music. This app can be used by itself, but it may be more effective in combination with treatment by a healthcare professional.

Concussion Coach was created by the National Center for PTSD, VA’s Rehabilitation and Prosthetic Services, and DoD’s National Center for Telehealth & Technology.

Ratings and reviews

This app is easy to use, informative, clean, and helpful. The user interface could be improved to navigate the journal entry, but the app's simplicity is its greatest asset and I like the use of audio cues to limit screen time. A dark mode would be really nice too.

I'm sure this app is helpful for people with very limited resources and knowledge of concussions but the title is deceiving... It doesn't really coach or help teach much in the way of post concussion syndrome/symptoms. One piece I quite liked is the 22 question scale to rate your symptoms, but this should be daily and then show a log of symptom ratings ... Interface has too much white and hurts the eyes

What I've been looking for the last three years. Help in a device that can prompt me to use it.
