Breakthroughs in brain health, particularly in concussion assessment and treatment, have been slow despite advances in technology like MRI. Objective brain wave measures, recorded through EEG, are emerging as a priority for providing real-time insights into cognitive brain function following concussive impacts. Point-of-care EEG devices are becoming increasingly accessible, allowing for rapid assessment of concussions in various settings such as sports fields, clinics, and military environments. Despite challenges, the integration of point-of-care brain wave monitoring into concussion assessment holds promise for improving outcomes and reducing the burden of this serious public health issue.
