Company profile
researched Aug 2026HEADCHECK Health Inc. develops a digital platform that sports organizations use to run their concussion protocols end to end. The system combines role-based toolkits for protocol execution (usable online or offline), a live monitoring dashboard giving real-time visibility into active incidents and protocol compliance across venues with automated alerts, and reporting that aggregates incident data for policy and resourcing decisions. Product modules include dashboards, return-to-play coordination, mobile sideline assessment, incident reporting, athlete notes timelines, education tracking, digital forms and integrations with third-party tools.
The platform is designed around distinct user roles: executives, administrators, medical staff, volunteers, doctors, parents and athletes each receive tailored views and instructions. Use cases the company markets include league oversight, medical management, volunteer coordination, athletic department efficiency, clinic revenue growth, and military and tactical settings. HEADCHECK positions itself as a clinical support tool: medical personnel perform gold-standard concussion assessments while non-medical personnel recognize and report incidents, with all management decisions reserved for qualified medical professionals. The app includes a digital SCAT6 approved by the Concussion in Sport Group and integrates with EyeSync and SWAY balance testing, plus TeamSnap and Okta single sign-on. Earlier product descriptions emphasized sideline pre-season and post-injury testing measuring symptoms, balance and neurocognitive function, with time-stamped records, comparisons to prior tests, and trend analytics that follow an athlete across teams and sports.
The company states it provides enterprise-grade security including HIPAA compliance and regular third-party audits. Its privacy policy distinguishes information processed on behalf of customer organizations from data of "Independent Athletes" who register directly.
Founding story
The company originated in 2013 from a concussion research lab, motivated by the risk organizations and athletes face when concussion protocols are difficult to implement consistently. Harrison Brown is co-founder and CEO; Kerry Costello is also referenced as a company leader.
Business model
HEADCHECK sells subscription access to its concussion protocol platform to organizational customers; users of the mobile app receive login credentials through their organization's paid account, and direct sign-ups have been offered a 30-day free trial before purchase. The company supplements software with services including strategic implementation, managed protocol oversight, dedicated support and custom solutions, and offers an "Enterprise Solution" and an "Enhanced Care Program."
Paid accounts held by customer organizations (leagues, teams, associations, hospitals and clinics), with app access provisioned by invitation; historical consumer-facing sign-ups involved a time-limited free trial followed by a required purchase.
Traction
The website reports more than 150,000 athletes protected, more than 6,000 organizations supported and more than 200,000 assessments performed. The Android app lists over 10,000 downloads, and the iOS app has 9 ratings averaging 1.7 out of 5. Customer testimonials come from Major League Soccer, the CFL, the OHL (covering 20 member teams), USA Cycling, the CJFL, the BCHL, the Western Lacrosse Association, the EOJHL, the PJHL, Cambrian College and the University of Birmingham.
Latest developments
Recent app releases added an EyeSync integration on Android, a more robust SWAY balance-testing integration, improved notes workflows, reliable change indices on the Save Test screen for select organizations, and security improvements (version 10.2). Preceding releases introduced an Injury Dashboard, sport-specific updates for cricket and football, Okta single sign-on, and organization-wide enforcement of two-factor authentication. The privacy policy was last updated February 8, 2025.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Describes itself as a leading tech-enabled provider of concussion protocol management for sports organizations, and reports adoption by professional and amateur leagues in multiple countries; historical marketing claimed the most comprehensive and easiest-to-use sideline concussion assessment tool at an affordable price.
Positions the platform as an operational system for an entire protocol rather than a standalone test: role-specific tooling from head office to sideline, offline-capable mobile assessment, league-level compliance monitoring and aggregated analytics, a CISG-approved digital SCAT6, research-grade data consistency, and customer ownership of the resulting data.
Technology
Cloud platform with iOS and Android applications supporting offline operation on the sideline. Features include the HEADCHECK digital SCAT6 approved by the Concussion in Sport Group, symptom, balance and neurocognitive assessment, reliable change indices for selected populations, injury dashboards, sport-specific workflows (including cricket, football and horse riding), organization-wide two-factor authentication, Okta single sign-on, and integrations with EyeSync, SWAY and TeamSnap. Data is encrypted in transit and the company cites HIPAA compliance and third-party security audits.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales driven by consultative "Let's Talk" engagement with leagues and organizations, supported by league-wide deployments that cascade to member teams, partnerships with sport medicine bodies such as SportMedBC, and researcher adoption that serves as a credibility channel. A US-based VP of Revenue and Strategy was hired to lead expansion into the United States and global sports markets.
Sports leagues and governing bodies, youth sports associations and teams staffed by coaches and volunteers, college and school athletic departments, hospitals and clinics trained in concussion management, academic researchers, and military/tactical organizations. Named users and partners include Major League Soccer, the Canadian Football League, the OHL, USA Cycling, the CJFL, the BCHL, the Western Lacrosse Association, the EOJHL, the PJHL, Cambrian College and the University of Birmingham.
Geography
Headquartered at 300-1001 Broadway W, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Customers include Canadian, US and international sports organizations, with named engagements in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom; expansion into the United States and global sports markets has been a stated priority.
History
HEADCHECK was established in 2013 out of a concussion research lab to address the complexity of implementing concussion protocols. Its early product was a sideline concussion testing and management app for sports teams. In January 2017 the company signed a memorandum of understanding with the Sport Medicine Council of British Columbia (SportMedBC) to make the app available to BC sporting organizations and medical professionals. The company later added a US-based VP of Revenue and Strategy to lead international growth and has expanded from a sideline assessment app into a broader protocol execution, monitoring and analytics platform, shipping releases through version 10.2 as of 2026.
Risks & controversies
The iOS app holds a 1.7 out of 5 average rating from 9 reviews, with users citing a cumbersome registration process requiring email and phone verification, an undisclosed subscription requirement after a 30-day trial, login/network errors, and unsuitability for parents seeking non-sport concussion screening. The platform handles sensitive health data across multiple jurisdictions, and the privacy policy notes the company does not control athlete information collected by customer organizations.
