Hudson football players undergo concussion testing with Cleveland Clinic’s C3 app.
Cleveland Clinic’s C3 App screens young athletes for concussions by testing reaction time, coordination and balance. By saving athletes’ baseline information for later use, doctors can spot concussions, tell how bad they are and how long it takes to fully recover and get back on the field.
Parents in Hudson told WOIO that they happy that Cleveland Clinic is providing tools to help protect their kids.
The C3 App is already being used at nearly 50 schools across the area. It’s deployed and serviced by a Cleveland Clinic Athletic Trainer for concussion management. The app is not something people can download on their smartphones, but it is a device schools can use if they partner with the Cleveland Clinic.
