USA Cycling Teams with Headcheck Health to Prevent Mismanaged Concussions

The national governing body for bicycle racing in the United States, USA Cycling, has partnered with Vancouver’s Headcheck Health to better prevent mismanaged concussions.

USA Cycling will execute and monitor its concussion protocol for their National Team using the Headcheck concussion app platform.

Using Headcheck enables USA Cycling to better prevent mismanaged concussions by streamlining all necessary documentation, testing, and return-to-sport management. In addition, the digital collection and review of aggregate data can inform meaningful changes to the USA Cycling concussion protocol based on specific trends.

“For over a decade, USA Cycling has been conducting baseline testing as part of our concussion protocol,” said USA Cycling Chief of Sport Performance, Jim Miller. “Headcheck will help us continue to prioritize the health and safety of our athletes all while simplifying the process in the event of a suspected head injury.”

In 2019 the Trek Factory Racing (TFR) off-road program announced that they would be using HeadCheck Health to identify, assess and manage concussions.
