QED HIA
FOR NFL
Immediate Neuro-Trauma Assessment in a Collision Sport
In concussion, observation is not a measurement, nor is it a treatment. QED HIA delivers real-time neuro data, pitch-side intervention, and validated return-to-play — transforming how the NFL manages player welfare.
American Football Is
The Highest-Impact Collision Sport
NFL players sustain an average of 1,000+ sub-concussive impacts per season. Each impact accumulates neurological stress that current sideline protocols — built on observation and symptom reporting — cannot detect, measure, or manage in real time.
The NFL's concussion protocol relies on a player being visibly impaired before assessment begins. By that point, the neurological damage has already occurred and the window for immediate intervention has closed.
CTE research has demonstrated that the greatest risk is not the single catastrophic impact — it is the accumulation of sub-threshold events that go undetected and unmanaged across a career. QED HIA measures what observation cannot see.
Observation-only sideline protocol
Player must show visible symptoms before assessment begins
No real-time impact load data
Cumulative sub-concussive damage goes unmeasured
Subjective return-to-play
Clearance based on how the player feels, not neurological data
No pre-season neuro baseline
No benchmark to compare post-impact data against
CTE risk unmanaged
Career-long accumulation of neurological trauma untracked
From Observation → To Control
"The future of football is not detection. It is the management of the player under pressure."
QED HIA · From Observation → To Control
QED HIA integrates measurement, intervention, and recovery into one continuous system — delivering real-time neuro data at the sideline, immediate microcurrent intervention, and validated return-to-play clearance.
Neuro Benchmark
Pre-season cognitive baseline — the player's neurological 'normal' before the first snap.
Real-Time Impact Monitoring
Continuous impact load tracking throughout the game — every hit, every play, every quarter.
Sideline Assessment
Immediate neuro-trauma assessment at the sideline — Brain Balance, Decision Latency, Motor Precision.
Immediate Intervention
AcuScope/MyoPulse microcurrent deployment for acute neuro-trauma management — not observation and wait.
Validated Return to Play
Neurological clearance based on measured recovery data — not symptom reporting or time elapsed.
Every Position. Every Play.
Every Impact Measured.
