Detección de daños traumáticos en el cerebro con un smartphone

Smartphone App Assesses TBI at Site of Trauma

 A smartphone app that detects concussion and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) could be used to determine whether someone — whether a football player, a soldier in battle, or an elderly person who has fallen — should be further assessed for concussion or other brain injury. The app, called PupilScreen, uses a smartphone’s video camera and deep learning tools to identify changes in the pupil’s response to light.
