FlightPath — Real-time, unbiased concussion detection on Apple devices
Portable mixed-reality testing that delivers an adaptive, evidence-driven assessment in ~2 minutes. Designed to guide fast, informed decisions—wherever the injury occurs.
Designed for parents, athletic trainers, emergency clinicians, medical personnel, and researchers.
About FlightPath
FlightPath is a mobile mixed-reality application from Ambient Insights, Inc. that identifies features of concussions (mild traumatic brain injuries) immediately after an event. The app leverages Apple device sensors (including LiDAR), adaptive mixed reality test patterns, and machine learning to extract high-resolution motion and depth signatures at the time of injury.
How it works
- Hummingbird interactive test: a moving virtual target adapts in real-time to the user’s performance.
- LiDAR & motion capture: device depth sensors capture subtle neurological impairment signals.
- AI / ML analysis: transforms over a million data points per test into machine learning features.
- NeuroDNA integration: clinician-grade reports summarizing key findings and follow-up recommendations.
Core benefits
- Fast: adaptive test completed in ~2 minutes.
- Portable: works anywhere with a LiDAR-enabled Apple device.
- No baseline required: adaptive, unbiased scoring.
- Actionable: clinician-grade outputs for follow-up.
Why FlightPath matters
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) remain a major public health issue: an estimated ~3.8 million TBI-related events occur each year in the U.S., with 33–50% going unreported or undiagnosed.
FlightPath helps reduce uncertainty for:
- Parents and families deciding whether to seek emergency care
- Athletic trainers managing return-to-play
- Emergency clinicians prioritizing diagnostics
- Military personnel evaluating readiness in the field
