QED HIA FOR GAA

GAA DESERVES
MEASUREMENT,
NOT GUESSWORK

In concussion, observation is not a measurement, nor is it a treatment.

QED HIA brings immediate neuro-trauma assessment to Gaelic Football, Hurling, Camogie and Ladies Football — from grassroots club level to All-Ireland finals.

THE PROBLEM IN GAA

500,000 PLAYERS.
NO MEASUREMENT STANDARD.

GAA is one of the most physically demanding amateur sports in the world. Gaelic football and hurling involve high-speed collisions, aerial contests, and repeated impacts — yet there is no standardised pitch-side neuro-measurement protocol across the 32 counties.

GAA has no standardised pitch-side neuro-measurement protocol
Concussion decisions rely on observation and symptom reporting
Players return to play without validated cognitive revalidation
Club medics lack the tools to make evidence-based decisions
No longitudinal injury record follows the player across their career
Amateur status means players often play through injury without documentation

"The future of GAA is not detection. It is the management of the player under pressure."

GAELIC GAMES COVERED

ALL FOUR CODES. ONE PLATFORM.

⚽

Gaelic Football

High-collision aerial contests, shoulder charges, falls

🏑

Hurling

Stick contact, high-speed sliotar impact, helmet collisions

🏑

Camogie

Same collision demands as hurling — same neuro-welfare need

⚽

Ladies Gaelic Football

Full contact sport — player welfare equally critical

THE QED HIA PROTOCOL

FIVE PILLARS FOR GAA WELFARE

Neuro Benchmark
Pre-Match Cognitive Baseline

Every GAA player establishes a personal cognitive baseline before the match. This is their individual standard — not a population average.

Body Mapping
Physiological Stress Detection

QED maps physiological asymmetry and pre-injury stress markers across the body, detecting imbalances before they become injuries.

Neuro-Architecture
Stress-Response Pathways

Understanding how a player's nervous system responds under the physical demands of Gaelic Games — collision, sprint, aerial contest.

Pitch-Side Intervention
Immediate Microcurrent Deployment

When a player is assessed pitch-side, QED delivers immediate, evidence-based neuro intervention — not observation and removal.

Recovery & Return
Measured Revalidation

Return-to-play is validated against the player's own baseline — not a generic protocol. Measured. Documented. Defensible.

BASELINE → IMPACT → RECOVERY → RETURN

The complete QED HIA pathway — for every GAA player, every match, every season.
