Problem
Concussion symptoms such as altered eye movements, abnormal blink patterns, and heightened light sensitivity are often missed or dismissed, leading to delayed medical evaluation and poorer recovery outcomes. Access to timely, objective screening is limited because traditional assessments require in‑person visits with specialized equipment.
Solution
Bonobara offers a free, camera‑based concussion screening tool that leverages computer‑vision and AI to analyze eye response and light sensitivity using a standard phone or laptop. The user completes a short, non‑invasive test anywhere, after which the platform delivers clear, interpretable results and follow‑up questions to help understand symptom severity. Results are available instantly, 24/7, and the service includes an educational support hub where users can ask questions about their findings. When further care is indicated, the system enables one‑click actions such as drafting emails to nearby providers, sharing a screening summary, or scheduling an appointment, streamlining the path to professional evaluation.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals who have experienced a head injury—such as athletes, students, and recreational participants—and need quick, accessible guidance on whether to seek medical care.
