The daily vital sign brain recovery never had.
Neuroline turns 20 seconds of voice into an objective concussion screen and a daily recovery curve, from the sideline through return to play and return to work.

Concussion care is a guess at both ends.
The decisions that matter most still rest on what an injured athlete says about themselves.
Self-reported and easy to game.
Sideline protocols lean on symptom reports that athletes have every reason to underplay when they want to stay on the field.
The same checklist, at the riskiest moment.
Return to play is decided by the same subjective process, exactly when second-impact risk and institutional liability are highest.
One engine. Three moments.
Voice can be captured anywhere, on a phone, in under a minute, at almost no marginal cost. No blood draw, no EEG cap, no lab.
Baseline
Each athlete records once, at preseason or intake. Every later result is compared with their own voice, not a population average.
Screen
After a knock, a 20-second sideline sample returns Clear, Watch or Refer against that baseline.
Monitor
Daily 20-second check-ins from home build an objective recovery curve through return to play and return to work.
A clear call, against the athlete's own baseline.
Drifting from baseline
Two of five voice markers moved outside this athlete's preseason range. Re-screen in 15 minutes.

Illustrative example. Screening supports, and does not replace, a clinical concussion assessment.
Voice first. More of the brain's signals next.
Every other concussion signal is a snapshot: invasive, hardware-bound or expensive to repeat. Voice is the one you can take every day. The same engine will add eye tracking and other measures as they're validated.
Voice
Rate, fluency, pauses and vocal quality from a 20-second read-aloud passage.
Eye tracking NEXT
Smooth pursuit and saccades from a phone camera, on the same baseline.
Further signals LATER
Added to the engine as each is validated.
