SyncThink, a Boston, MA firm, landed FDA clearance for its EYE-SYNC eye movement analysis system. The device is intended to spot signs of concussion, particularly on the sidelines of contact sport fields. The device is essentially a virtual reality headset with eye tracking cameras built-in. The test that takes less than a minute to perform puts athletes through a virtual reality world in which they’re*supposed to track objects with their*eyes. The system provides fast results once the test is complete, and coupled with a more traditional assessment can help decide whether to pull the player from the game.

The hardware was designed for durability, as athletes can be quite emotionally pumped during concussion assessment. The headset connects to a tablet that’s used to initiate the exam and to review the results. The whole package weighs less than 5 pounds and we hope will be cheap e**ugh to be common in high schools and colleges.

Here’s a demo video of the EYE-SYNC in action:
