HeadCheck, a concussion-management app, has been upgraded and relaunched in collaboration with the AFL - Australian Football League, Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), Curve Tomorrow, and a panel of sport-related concussion experts. The upgraded app is a resource to suit participants of all ages and levels of the game, supporting the management of concussions from recognition through to return-to-play, in line with the AFL’s concussion management guidelines. In March this year the AFL released important developments in relation to the return-to-play protocols in the concussion guidelines for AFL and AFLW at all levels of Australian Rules Football, including community football. AFL Head of Concussion, Professor Catherine Willmott states “The HeadCheck app is a fantastic resource to help trainers, coaches, volunteers and parents to recognise the symptoms of a suspected concussion and its severity."
