Abstract Concussion is a serious condition that needs special attention to detect, diagnose, and manage. Early detection and good management of concussion is the backbone of mitigating the effect of it. Telehealth that is a mixture of technology and healthcare offers a solution to achieve that. It allows for early detection of concussion even at rural places by incorporating a sensor to sport tools which detects the impact that may cause concussion by measuring the linear and angular acceleration. Some companies offer gadgets that enable health professional to perform tests to diagnose the condition remotely without having to be at the same place.
