In Concussion,
Observation
Is Not Measurement
Nor is it treatment.
QED HIA delivers immediate neuro-trauma assessment across every contact and combat sport — evidence-based decision support for medical staff when it matters most.
Contact Sport.
Combat Sport.
Every Sport.
High-energy impacts bombard athletes across every contact and combat sport with traumatic neurological consequences. From the rugby pitch to the boxing ring, the MMA cage to the battlefield — the human brain is under threat every time an athlete competes.
Across every collision discipline, neurological trauma post-impact is complex. Traditional concussion management relies on observation alone — but in concussion, observation is not a measurement, nor is it a treatment. Every sport deserves better.
"In concussion, observation is not a measurement, nor is it a treatment."

Decision Support for
Pitch-Side Neuro-Trauma
QED HIA is an end-to-end head-injury assessment, stabilisation and recovery proposition that moves intervention closer to the point of injury and continues support beyond the field.
Neuro-Architecture Analysis
Baseline vs Under Stress comparison. Tracks balanced cognition, cognitive function, vision, and hand-motor precision against left hemisphere suppression, decision latency, and emotional load under impact.
QED Body Mapping
Real-time physiological heat mapping detects asymmetry, elevated stress markers, VO₂ drop, and cortisol spike. The body tells the story the eye cannot see.
Integrated System Intelligence
Sequence Breakdown · Coordination Drop · Visual Block · Audio Overload · Digital Brain Passport™. The complete picture of neurological impact across every contact and combat discipline.
Seamless HIA Integration
QED HIA does not replace existing medical protocols. It enhances them — a measurable upgrade for every contact and combat sport worldwide. From observation to management.
The Five Pillars of
QED HIA Athlete Welfare
Neuro Benchmark™
Baseline Intelligence for the Brain
QED Neuro Benchmark™ establishes a player's individual neurological baseline before competition. It captures cognitive function, reaction timing, neural patterns, and physiological readiness to create a measurable reference point. This transforms player assessment from subjective observation into objective data, enabling precise identification of deviation following impact or fatigue.

Pitch-Side Intervention
Immediate Action at the Point of Impact
Recovery & Return
Measured Recovery, Not Assumed Readiness
A Continuous Record.
A Lifetime of Protection.
Athlete Service History is a continuous record of brain baseline, body baseline, impact events, recovery progression and return-to-play visibility. This moves the market from a one-off medical snapshot to a longitudinal athlete-care architecture.
Medical Baseline
QED Neuro Benchmark establishes objective pre-play cognitive and physiological baseline
Impact Event
Head impact detected. QED Acu delivers immediate pitch-side electro-microcurrent stabilisation
Recovery Progression
QED Neuro supports home neurological recovery. Body Mapping tracks asymmetry resolution
Return to Play

A Responsibility
Across Generations
QED HIA is proposing a series of controlled pilot trials conducted within the existing Six Nations match-day and medical framework — under the guidance, oversight, and endorsement of Six Nations Rugby.
If rugby is to secure its long-term sustainability as a contact sport, parents must have confidence that governing bodies are not only identifying concussion, but actively managing the player through recovery and return-to-play.

Athletes
Protecting athletes across every contact and combat sport requires decisive, evidence-based action when it matters most. QED HIA delivers that action — on the pitch, in the ring, on the field, and on the battlefield.

THE FINAL WHISTLE
DOES NOT END
THE RISK.
For thousands of athletes across rugby, football, NFL, boxing, and GAA, the damage accumulated on the pitch follows them for the rest of their lives — into dementia, MND, and Alzheimer's disease. The FIELD study found former professional footballers are 3.5× more likely to die of neurodegenerative disease. Steve Thompson won the Rugby World Cup in 2003. He cannot remember it. He is 42 years old.
