The multi-center study evaluates BrainPulse recordings from subjects with a suspected or
confirmed concussion to improve a concussion detection algorithm. Subjects may also consent
for a 5 additional follow-ups over a 21-day period to compare the progression of change in
their BrainPulse recordings.
confirmed concussion to improve a concussion detection algorithm. Subjects may also consent

their BrainPulse recordings.
The primary objective of this study is to collect un-blinded BrainPulse recordings from youth
and adults that have a confirmed diagnosis of concussion per protocol guidelines in order to
improve a concussion detection algorithm previously developed by Jan Medical, Inc. In order
to gather sufficient variability, subjects with both confirmed concussion and suspected
concussion will be included in the study as long as they meet eligibility criteria.
BrainPulse recordings from subjects with suspected concussion will be compared to the
recordings of subjects diagnosed with concussion. Subjects will be followed for 21 days after
the initial injury with BrainPulse recordings to study the subject's recovery process. The
symptomatic evaluation, physical examination, and BrainPulse recordings will be entered in a
database to assess clinical outcome and device utilization.
