CAPT: a digital platform to improve concussion education and reduce risk, liability, and mismanagement

Agile Intelligent Solutions (AgileIS), in collaboration with the CAC and Parachute, created the digital concussion management platform CAPT (Concussion Awareness, Protocols and Training) to improve concussion safety. Early recognition of a concussion, proper medical assessment, and appropriate management of a participant’s return to activity can make a significant difference in recovery. CAPT empowers organizations to react more quickly and effectively to concussions and helps every point of contact within an organization to act correctly and in real-time. This platform is an effective way for participants to follow their concussion management protocols from diagnosis to recovery.
