Expansion advances routine balance measurement as a key health indicator
UpRight Science today announced that its FDA-cleared balance assessment software is available to clinics served by ImPACT Applications, Inc., the leader in concussion management software. The expanded partnership builds on an initial rollout to school athletic programs, bringing objective balance measurement to more healthcare professionals to support concussion assessment and provide data points to support recovery monitoring.
ImPACT provides scientifically validated tools that help healthcare providers and athletic programs assess and manage concussions. Adding UpRight’s balance measurement technology gives clinicians another source of objective information to inform their assessments and track changes throughout a patient’s recovery.
“Balance is a fundamental indicator of how a person is functioning, and measuring it can be particularly valuable following a head injury,” said Terry Chabrowe, CEO of UpRight Science. “Our expanded partnership with ImPACT advances our broader goal: making balance measurement a familiar part of healthcare, much like checking blood pressure.”
Concussions can affect the systems that help people maintain their balance, making balance assessment relevant to both initial evaluation and follow-up care. UpRight’s smartphone-based software enables clinicians to compare measurements over time, adding information about physical function to the broader clinical picture as they evaluate a patient’s progress.
“Our relationship with UpRight began with making balance assessment available to the thousands of school athletic programs we serve. That initial rollout expanded the capabilities of the ImPACT platform and laid the foundation for our expansion into clinics,” said Bob Reish, General Manager of ImPACT Applications.
Through its work to advance Balance: The Sixth Vital Sign, UpRight Science aims to make objective balance measurement a routine part of conversations between patients and healthcare professionals.
