Eye-brain vision check

Eye-Brain Vision Check on iPhone and iPad

A fast, non-diagnostic way to monitor visual, balance, and symptom changes after a possible concussion.

What this helps track

Monitor how your eyes, balance, and symptoms respond to short guided tasks after a possible concussion. About two minutes per session.

Why it matters

After a bump, fall, or jolt, subtle visual and balance changes can be hard to track day to day. Repeating the same short check gives a clearer view of headache, dizziness, brain fog, and tracking confidence trends than memory alone — useful when comparing recovery sessions over time. Lower stress scores suggest less symptom or tracking stress; higher confidence scores mean the test data was more usable.

What this assessment measures

The Eye-Brain Vision Check samples the oculomotor and vestibular systems commonly affected by concussion and mild TBI: smooth pursuit (following a moving target), saccades (rapid eye jumps), the vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR), and visual motion sensitivity. These domains are the same ones clinicians evaluate with in-office tools like VOMS-style assessments. A paired symptom check-in captures headache, dizziness, nausea, and brain fog alongside the visual data.

How it works

What a typical session looks like

Each session is short and guided end-to-end, so you can focus on the task.

1Find a quiet spot and hold the device at a comfortable distance.
2Follow the on-screen target with your eyes as it moves smoothly across the screen.
3Complete short saccade and vestibular-ocular reflex prompts as guided.
4Rate current symptoms (headache, dizziness, nausea, brain fog).
5Full session takes about two minutes.

What your results show

You'll see a per-domain stress score, a data-quality confidence score, and a symptom summary. Lower stress suggests less symptom or tracking stress during that session; higher confidence means the underlying data was more usable. Reviewers compare sessions across recovery to spot directional trends.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the eye-brain vision check assessment on Alumina Health.

Can this diagnose a concussion?

No. Alumina Health is not a medical device and does not diagnose or rule out a concussion. It supports at-home tracking of visual, vestibular, and symptom trends during recovery, always alongside a clinician's guidance.

When should I seek urgent care instead of tracking at home?

Seek urgent medical care for severe or worsening symptoms, repeated vomiting, confusion, seizure, loss of consciousness, weakness, new vision loss, double vision, or significant neck pain after an impact.

How often should I run the check?

Follow your clinician's guidance. In post-concussion recovery, a common pattern is once daily during the first week, then tapering as symptoms improve.

What do the stress and confidence scores mean?

Lower stress suggests fewer symptoms triggered during the session. Higher confidence means the eye-tracking data was more consistent and usable; a low confidence score usually points to setup issues rather than a clinical finding.

Can athletes use this for return-to-play decisions?

Alumina is not a return-to-play decision tool. Return-to-play decisions must be made by a qualified clinician. The app can help capture recovery trends to bring into that conversation.

Safety note

Not for emergencies. Seek urgent medical care for severe or worsening symptoms, repeated vomiting, confusion, seizure, loss of consciousness, weakness, new vision loss, double vision, or significant neck pain after an impact.
