TBIFinder : A new approach to identify and properly assess mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) is a common and devastating condition that severely affects millions of people around the world. Following an mTBI, also known as concussion, a medical professional performs standard neurological tests, however, these tests are very subjective, based on patient-reporting, and provide little to no insight on the severity of an mTBI. The company TBIFinder therefore revolutionizes brain injury treatment by providing a fully objective service that uses a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine to assess mTBIs. TBIFinder is a software platform equipped with a sophisticated algorithm that uses medical-grade MRI images to investigate structural and functional abnormalities in individuals suffering from mTBI. The TBIFinder technology has been created by an expert in the MRI field and the software is currently under development to increase access and distribution to the entire medical community.
