Brain health is tricky. Some athletes recover very quickly from head knocks, for others it takes a lot longer. The most important thing is that athletes are 100% recovered before they return to action. 

What adds to the complexity is that it’s not just diagnosed concussions that are the problem. Any trauma to the head – i.e. heading a football, a failing arm in basketball or tackling in rugby can do invisible damage that doesn’t lead to symptoms. This is causing the current situation, where athletes are unknowingly taking to the field when they’re already impaired. This is putting them at greater risk because trauma compounds and it’s the cumulative exposure overtime that has the potential to cause neurological issues down the line. 

Luca is not about scaring people off playing the sports they love. We’re sports mad and know the tremendous benefits it offers, but it must be made safer. 

Luca’s tech does just that. Athletes can now understand their baseline cognition levels, retest themselves anywhere, at any time and, importantly, return to sport after a concussion in a data informed way.
