According to Chicago Business,Illinois-based NoMo Diagnosis are developing a real-time concussion detector. The company is trying to gain FDA approval for the the device with hopes that it will change the way concussions are diagnosed and treated.
Harald Stelzer, CEO of NoMo Diagnostics, is behind the project. He told Chicago Business that his device — headgear that houses sensitive instruments — is capable of monitoring brainwaves that are strong enough to be measured outside of the skull.
“The idea was to try to come up with an instantaneous measurement where you can fully automate how a neurologist would be looking at a brainwave pattern and having that — like a fire alarm — be the signal for a call to action.
