Quick overview of Mind Mirror for those who missed the first podcast.
Artificial intelligence is used to give a risk assessment of someone who potentially has a concussion.
Correlation is one element used to determine if the patient has a concussion
Coming straight in from bright light, which could restrict the pupils, but the correlation should be the same.
Light intensity, fatigue, and cold can affect pupils.
Taking Nyquil or something that makes you groggy or sluggish will negatively impact the test results.
Hit the maximum restriction in one second or less; it should not be three or more seconds.
The Athletic Trainer needs to know what is currently going on with the athlete.
Age can also have a very slow response, which is why the app looks at other factors.
PLR – healthy score indicates a high probability that the athlete does not have a concussion.
A score lower than .8 indicates a high probability that the athlete does have a concussion.
Caffeine’s effect?
Caffeine can constrict the pupils; in Emma's case, her pupils were very constricted due to a possible combination of the caffeine and light restriction.
You can use a light meter to help tell if the pupils are restricted.
Mind Mirror's Indoor versus Outdoor differential?
Try to do it in a shaded area or inside, and try to do it in an area that does not affect pupils
Does it matter if you do the baseline test or the after-incident test?
Exact same test, just allows them to segment the data.
Will the administrator be able to see the results in the app?
Yes
When using the Mind Mirror app it asks test result is normal or not normal before we see the results. Should we be able to see that before?
SOAP, what did you observe? Did you observe things in a normal or abnormal state? Are things normal? They will be removed in the next version.
Clarify the colors a little more. One of our results showed .09 and was orange.
Color scheme: green, light orange, to red
An extremely low score should have shown up in red
Will look into why it did not come up as red, yellow ,or orange is trending toward higher risk
How is the new prototype with more biomarkers coming along?
Starting development, exposing to customers, they do their observation and send notes back, send observations ,the advance score of the risk probability, the advanced model is now currently being combined into the app
Does the environment of the test matter?
It seemed we got different results from indoors vs. outdoors in the shade.
Lighting does matter
Is there any more research you would like to do in the future? What do you want to prove?
There are very few studies on female athletes and brain studies, not a lot of info, looking into studies on female rugby, looking at a lot of studies of different ages, not a lot of info on studies
How do you intend to begin selling the product when it is ready? Will it be a monthly service? A one-time fee? Discounts for bulk pricing(multiple accounts)?
A variety of pricing models, the goal is to get it into the hands of as many people as possible
Youth leagues and high schools are a bulk price, $5.00 for 1 year or $2.50 for 3 years
Could you ever see Mind Mirror being bought out and implemented in one of the other concussion testing systems?
Have had conversations with Sway to provide them with an objective measurement.
Healthy Roster, incorporating MindMirror results into the system.
The goal is to add sensors to help tell if protective gear should be added, and telehealth
The next model will have biomarkers for risk, age, and other health issues
