When a player gets injured, the designated team volunteer or parent will log on to our app and pick the injured area from an anatomy-labelled body. Our app will then ask a few baseline questions and based on their answers, will continuously lead them down a personalized string of questions. Finally, once we have a better understanding of their injury, we will provide them with a return to play decision, potential diagnosisis, immediate recommendations/suggestions to alleviate pain and reduce worsening of the injury, and a personalized rehabilitation plan.
