BrainScope’s Head Injury Assessment Device Moves Closer To Military, Sports Use

BrainScope received 510(k) clearance in May for Ahead 200, a second-generation, handheld, noninvasive device for the adjunctive assessment of traumatic brain injury in adults over 18 years of age. With an estimated 60 million cases of TBI annually worldwide, the company is initially focusing on military and sports applications, but is also looking at emerging markets such as India and China, where there are fewer CT scanners and the rate of head injury is substantially higher than in the US.
