Brainsafe, a leader in concussion management technology, is excited to announce a groundbreaking study in collaboration with Notre Dame College Football to assess the use of pupil reaction to light as an indicator of concussions. This study aims to improve the accuracy and speed of concussion diagnosis in athletes, enhancing player safety and care.

The study will begin this week and will utilize Brainsafe’s advanced pupil assessment technology to monitor the eye’s response to light among Notre Dame College Football players. This non-invasive method could revolutionize how concussions are identified and managed on the field.

Justus Bejnö, CEO of Brainsafe, commented on the collaboration: “We are thrilled to partner with Notre Dame College Football on this important study. At Brainsafe, our mission is to advance player safety, and we believe that monitoring pupil response can provide critical insights into concussion diagnosis and provide an important tool for sideline staff to make accurate assessments. This study represents a significant step forward in protecting athletes at all levels.”

Tony Pansell, Lead Researcher on the project from the Karolinska Institute, added: “This research is an exciting opportunity to apply cutting-edge science to real-world situations. By examining pupil reactions, we hope to develop a fast and reliable method for detecting concussions, which can significantly affect athlete safety in contact sports.”

Jean-Philippe Peron, General Director at Notre Dame College, shared his thoughts: “We are proud to support this innovative research initiative. Collaborating with Brainsafe aligns with our commitment to excellence and the well-being of our student-athletes. We look forward to contributing to advancements in concussion management that could benefit athletes worldwide.”

The study will be conducted throughout the football season, with findings expected to be published in early 2025. Brainsafe and Notre Dame College are committed to enhancing player safety and advancing sports science through this pioneering research.
