Research abstract
Over 450,000+ service members have been impacted by TBI since the year 2000. The cost of severe TBI alone resulting from OIF/OEF is estimated at $16 billion. At least 25% of all service members will sustain a mild TBI– though 57% of mild TBIs go unreported– with up to 35% experiencing long-term effects such as PTSD and sleep dysfunction. Research shows CBF is strongly correlated with TBI outcomes. STAT Health’s non-invasive artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled biosensing platform discreetly and continuously measures a biometric gold mine within the ear–the shallow ear artery– enabling unprecedented 24/7 monitoring of hemodynamic data such as Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) even during high-motion activities. STAT Health offers the first and only wearable device to measure CBF. Pre can predict loss of consciousness (LOC) 2-12 minutes before it occurs due to changes to CBF, allowing time for recovery procedure to be executed
