Concussion Coach

Helpful, needs tweaks

Overall, I find this app to be helpful in many aspects, including information about various post-TBI issues with references and links to access individual support. I like how different symptoms are linked to the relevant built-in tool. There are several tools within the app to improve coping skills, set goals and build resilience. The periodic assessment tracker is ok but needs dates on the graph. The graphics don’t always line up correctly and a few options in the Wellness Journal spontaneously close down the app, losing the data being entered. A major issue is that none of the data can be exported from the Wellness Journal and periodic self-assessments. I’ve been tracking symptoms, especially headaches, for a few months and can’t share the data in an organized form with my TBI PCM. Otherwise, this is a solid app. Free. No ads.

Helpful

Unlike the first reviewer, I have found this tool to be very helpful. The ability to find quick resources and “normalize” how I’m feeling is useful. I also like the assessment tool. A couple of suggestions that would make this app even better: The app does not seem to retain previous assessment data. When I enter a new assessment it always tells me that my last assessment was “never.” When charting the assessment results, it would be helpful if the dates were displayed. I find the wellness journal to be very helpful, but would like the ability to share this information with my healthcare provider. If there were a way to email or export a summary of this data, we could better track recovery.
