Mid-Atlantic Concussion (MAC) Alliance partners utilize several state-of-the-art, advanced assessment tools to test, diagnose and treat brain injuries and concussions. We stay on top of the latest technologies to provide patients today’s best screening and assessment tools for faster and more accurate diagnosis of concussions, also known as mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI). With these tools, we are able to tell if there is trauma and whether the brain is functioning normally. Our goal is to obtain sufficient cognitive function information we need to provide the best treatment possible following your head injury or accident.
ImPACT®
The ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment 
and Cognitive Testing) concussion evaluation system is the most widely used and scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system. A computer and mouse are used in a 20-30 minute neurocognitive challenge test to measure verbal memory, visual memory, visual-motor speed, and reaction time. With more than 70 million patients in the ImPACT database, MAC Alliance experts are able to rapidly evaluate the test taker’s performance with a percentile score. Health care professionals and educators rely on ImPACT to track recovery of cognitive processes and to make decisions about academic and professional needs following concussion. READ MORE
BrainScope® One
With this sophisticated EEG technology, 
MAC Alliance assesses the full spectrum of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). BrainScope One provides an objective, quantitative, and comprehensive assessment of EEG measurement and cognitive performance for mildly presenting concussions. We do so without having patients exposed to unnecessary radiation compared to CT scans used in ERs for head injuries. A CT scan is often not necessary and normally would present as “negative” since concussions do not show up on them. READ MORE
RightEye® Infrared Eye Tracking
You’ve heard the saying “The eyes are the window to the 
soul.” Turns out that the eyes may also be a window to our health. For decades, research has shown that eye tracking can help in not just enhancing vision health but also brain health and sports performance. With RightEye, the first commercialized high-precision measurement eye-tracking solution, MAC Alliance partners can uncover brain health issues in minutes. READ MORE
Creyos Health Assessments
Backed by over 25 years of scientific research, Creyos Health (formerly Cambridge Brain Sciences’ CBS Health) assesses cognitive functions like concentration, reasoning, memory, verbal abilities, and planning. With more than 10 million tasks completed, Creyos Health is an untimed neurocognitive test that takes roughly 20 minutes. Over 300 peer-reviewed studies use Creyos Health tasks to further understanding of brain health. READ MORE
EyeGuide® Brain Health Eye Tracking
The EyeGuide Focus assessment uses infrared screening
to track eye movement for brain monitoring in just 10 seconds. In the past, we were limited by the “follow my finger” tests which can be subjective. Now, with eye-tracking tests like EyeGuide that can capture eye movement quickly and accurately, MAC Alliance has an objective and reliable exam that can monitor brain health with speed. READ MORE
Sway Balance System
The Sway Balance System is an FDA-cleared Class II technology used by many doctors and athletic trainers to conduct concussion assessments and make return-to play-decisions. Balance screenings are administered through an app on a phone or tablet. These screenings can be done in the office, during a telemedicine appointment or remotely. Then a MAC Alliance concussion specialist reads and provides prompt data interpretation and treatment next-steps. READ MORE
