Head injury assessments on the BrainScope device
• Digitized SCAT5
Structural injury assessment
Aids in ruling out the likelihood of a brain bleed in ~15 minutes.
BrainScope's Structural Injury Classifier (SIC) algorithm assesses the likelihood of a brain bleed to even the smallest detectable amount of blood (≥1mL) with 99% sensitivity and a 98% negative predictive value (NPV) and a 60% reduction in unnecessary head CTs has been reported.
Concussion assessment
BrainScope aids in the evaluation and management of concussion, enabling earlier treatment which is associated with reduced time to recovery.
BrainScope's Concussion Index (CI) algorithm incorporates rapidly acquired EEG data, cognitive performance testing, and specific clinical signs/symptoms into a multimodal algorithm to assess concussion, with the largest contribution from EEG features, especially those reflecting changes in "connectivity" between brain regions. The CI aids in objective clinical diagnosis and reflects concussion severity.
The BrainScope Brain Function Index (BFI) algorithm includes only EEG features, especially those reflecting the physiological changes seen in concussion in the acute injury stage. The BFI scales with clinical severity.
To supplement the brain electrical activity based algorithms and cognitive performance assessments, BrainScope has digitized several standard clinical assessments commonly used by clinicians to evaluate head-injured patients, including MACE 2. These assessments can be performed directly on the BrainScope device and uploaded to the patient's electronic health record.
