The objective 
measure for 
concussion. 

Cardiology has troponin. Concussion and TBI have had nothing. Chronic Trace turns one session on your phone into objective, hard-to-fake biomarkers, scored against your own baseline.

Scored against self

Four channels fold into one index, measured against this person's own prior captures, never a population average. Point at a channel to see what it reads.

Software as a Medical Device in development. Patent-pending across concussion and TBI. Chronic Trace is a research-stage platform, positioned as a decision-support tool only. It is not diagnostic; results require clinical interpretation, and clinical decisions remain with licensed healthcare professionals.

Who runs it

One session. 
Four fields. 

The same session serves sport, defense, clinical trials, and workplace readiness. Shared science. Different decisions.

01

Sport

Baseline before. Evidence after.

Pre-participation baselines, repeat-exposure tracking, and return-to-play decision support.

BaselinesExposureReturn-to-play
02

Defense & VA

Measurement that does not rely on self-report.

Blast and impact exposure, disability evaluation, and assessment where a clinic is not reachable.

03

Trials

Calibrated endpoints in place of rater variance.

Repeatable treatment-response and severity measures for TBI sponsors and CROs.

Workplace

Fit for duty, before the shift.

Return-to-work clearance, safety-critical roles, and post-incident readiness checks.

The science

Every signal 
maps to the brain. 

Not one recording. Four separate tests, run back to back in one guided session. Balance and eye tracking use the device camera; the cognitive and reaction-time tests are answered on screen. Each maps to real neural machinery: the eyes to the brainstem, cerebellum, and frontal cortex; balance to the vestibular and cerebellar systems.

A healthy brain keeps these systems in sync. Injury pulls them apart, and we score that drift. Two of the four streams are involuntary and cannot be willed away, which is what makes those signals resistant to manipulation.

01
CameraInvoluntary

Oculomotor

Brainstem · cerebellum · frontal eye fields

Saccade latency, smooth pursuit, and fixation stability.

In concussion

Slowed saccades and a broken vestibulo-ocular reflex are among the earliest, hardest-to-fake concussion signs.

02
CameraInvoluntary

Postural

Vestibular system · cerebellum

Three-stance BESS plus an eyes-closed Romberg, with sway path and center-of-mass drift.

In concussion

Increased sway and postural instability are hallmark post-concussion findings.

03
TouchVoluntary

Cognition

Prefrontal · cortical networks

Trail-making and Stroop interference under escalating load.

In concussion

Processing speed and attention measurably slow after a concussion.

04
TouchVoluntary

Reaction

Sensorimotor cortex · motor pathways

Simple reaction time with randomized inter-stimulus intervals.

In concussion

Slowed reaction time is a robust, quantifiable concussion marker.

The involuntary half
You can't will a saccade slower, your gaze steadier, or your balance corrections still.

That holds for the oculomotor and postural streams. The cognitive and reaction-time tests are instructed tasks, and we treat them as such rather than claiming the whole battery is unfakeable.

The baseline · How it learns you

A baseline isn't a test.
It's a habit.

One capture is read against people in general. It takes repeated captures before the system can describe how much you personally vary, and only then does a change mean anything.

General referenceYour band, after three capturesLower reads healthier
0204060general referenceoutside your bandcapture 1over time
01Capture one

It doesn't know you yet.

The first capture has nothing to be compared against. Your result is read against a general reference, which is the same problem every population-referenced test has. A healthy person can sit below the average. Someone impaired can still sit above it.

1 captureNo personal reference
02Capture two

Two points can't describe a person.

A second capture gives a direction but not a range. There is still no way to tell an ordinary day from a meaningful one, because how much you naturally vary has not been established. The system does not pretend otherwise.

2 capturesDirection, not range
03Capture three

Now it knows you.

At the third capture there is enough to estimate your own variability, and scoring switches from a general reference to your own distribution. This is the moment the measurement becomes yours, and the band narrows immediately.

3 capturesPersonal band engages
04Every capture after

And the band keeps tightening.

Each additional capture sharpens the estimate of your normal. A change that would vanish inside a population average becomes visible against a band this narrow. That is why the tenth capture matters more than the first.

Sample assessment output

One question: how far from baseline? 

A representative record across ten sessions. The index sits inside the personal band, a head impact drives it up, and the return toward baseline reads at a glance.
