Concussion care model
From a missed injury to a monitored recovery
An integrated pathway that combines objective diagnostics, specialist interpretation and continuous monitoring — because a concussion is a trajectory, not a snapshot.
A representative case
Maria's mTBI story
A composite patient journey that illustrates where the current system fails and where the care model intervenes.
On her usual morning drive to work, Maria was sipping her coffee and humming along to the radio when her car jolted violently forward — struck from behind by a distracted driver. The coffee flew, her neck snapped back, and her head collided with the headrest. In that instant, her day, and possibly her future, changed.
Before NeuroGlympse: given the mechanism of injury, Maria may well have suffered a concussion without knowing it. In fact, 56% of people with mTBIs go undiagnosed. She is discharged with advice to rest.
Weeks later, Maria is struggling at work — forgetting tasks, misplacing important information, and increasingly afraid of losing her job. The stress spills into her home life, arguments with family become more frequent, she reports feeling depressed and spends most weekends in bed, and she is no longer able to pick up her child from daycare. None of this appears on any scan.
The pathway
What happens instead
Symptom screen
The patient completes the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire, establishing a documented symptom baseline.
Same-day objective testing
Teleneurology provides same-day appointments across 50+ locations. Ocular motor testing scores pursuits, saccades and fixations while the findings are still detectable.
Neurologist interpretation
A board-certified neurologist reads the report and correlates oculomotor, vestibular and cognitive findings — no automated scoring.
Enrollment in monitoring
Remote therapeutic monitoring begins, capturing HRV, sleep, stress, mood and vitals continuously rather than at appointments.
Care team review and escalation
Clinicians review incoming data to update the care plan. When thresholds are crossed, cases are flagged for specialist review or advanced therapy assessment.
What monitoring captures
Continuous signals, not recalled symptoms
Patients with depression are five times more likely to miss appointments. Monitoring collects the data anyway.
- Heart rate & heart-rate variability (HRV)
- Respiratory rate
- Sleep stages
- Stress — reported and computed
- Body temperature
- Weight & blood pressure
- Electrodermal activity
- Daily mood tracking

Care team review
Why monitoring, not just diagnosis
A concussion rarely arrives alone
30–90%
Headaches — report headaches, especially early after injury
20–50%
Depression — develop depression within the first year
15–50%
Anxiety — develop an anxiety disorder
10–30%
PTSD — may develop PTSD
Each of these is treatable, and each has an escalation path within the model — TMS for treatment-resistant depression, VNS for post-concussion recovery, and digital therapeutics for sleep and anxiety.
Scope
What our report is, and what it is not
Our report does not replace your doctor. We aim to inform and guide, with scientific literature backing our methodologies, and to advocate for patient recovery by providing access to real-time physiologic data and interpretation services.
NeuroGlympse works with technology partners for data collection while retaining independent responsibility for clinical interpretation. We are not affiliated with those partners beyond the contracted use of their systems.
We recommend testing anyone with symptoms
The diagnostic window closes. Same-day appointments are available across 50+ locations.
