Since current concussion testing requires a baseline, athletes sometimes find a way to cheat the system.However, a new device, the EyeBOX, is the first FDA-approved technology that doesn’t require a baseline test to diagnose a concussion.“There’s nothing like this out in the market right now,” said Dr. Kenneth Oliver, a chiropractic neurologist at the Neuro Clinic in Lehi.The Neuro Clinic was the first clinic in Utah to implement the new technology.Here’s how it works: the device has a camera that tracks your eye movements while you watch a movie clip in a small box that moves around the screen. The test takes about four to five minutes in total. Then, the device immediately generates the results.“It saves me a ton of time from sitting down and having to go through all the data,” Oliver said.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=03sY2J_0vkJX4B500" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=03sY2J_0vkJX4B500" width="1920" height="1080" ></figure>Oliver said this cutting-edge technology is a game changer for concussion diagnosis.“It’s an exciting piece of equipment that I think a lot of physicians that practice in the realm that I do are really going to be excited about,” he said. </div></body>
