Monitor visual, balance, and symptom changes during concussion recovery.
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that can follow a bump, fall, or jolt to the head or body. Symptoms like headache, dizziness, brain fog, and visual discomfort often shift day to day, which makes consistent, structured tracking useful during recovery. Alumina Health supports monitoring, not diagnosis: it does not confirm or rule out a concussion, but it helps surface trends across repeated sessions so changes are easier to recognize and discuss with a care team.
The Eye-Brain Vision Check walks through smooth pursuit, saccades, vestibular-ocular reflex, and visual motion sensitivity tasks in about two minutes, alongside a symptom check-in. Repeating the same short session with a consistent setup makes recovery trends easier to read than memory alone.
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that produces a rapid change in how the brain functions. It does not require loss of consciousness. Common symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbance. Most people recover within days to weeks with appropriate rest and a gradual return to activity, but a subset experience prolonged symptoms and benefit from more structured monitoring and care.
These are examples, not a diagnostic checklist. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Alumina Health is a tracking tool, not an emergency service. Contact a clinician or emergency services for any of the following:
Practical context for tracking, self-care, and working with a care team.
Concussion recovery is rarely linear. Symptoms often fluctuate day to day with sleep, screen time, cognitive effort, and physical activity. Short, consistent Eye-Brain Vision Check sessions paired with a symptom log tend to reveal a clearer recovery trajectory than trying to remember how each day felt.
Return-to-work, return-to-learn, and return-to-play decisions belong with a qualified clinician. Bringing longitudinal tracking data to those discussions can help ground decisions in objective trend information alongside symptom self-report.

No. Diagnosis of a concussion is a clinical decision. Alumina supports symptom and visual/vestibular tracking during recovery but does not diagnose or rule out concussion.
Follow your clinician's guidance. Many people begin tracking as soon as symptoms are stable enough to complete a two-minute session without significant discomfort.
Modern guidance is to gradually reintroduce cognitive and visual activity as tolerated rather than complete rest. A brief, guided session with clear pacing is very different from prolonged screen time.
Alumina is not a return-to-play decision tool. Those decisions must be made by a qualified clinician. The app can help capture recovery trends to bring into that conversation.
