The athletics department of US university Georgia Tech has partnered with health-tech Jamshid Ghaja. The medical company's eye-tracking technology uses a modified virtual reality goggle to objectively measure and detect visual impairments in less than a minute. The partnership aims to support the medical care and proactive monitoring of Georgia Tech student athletes in terms of concussion diagnosis and recovery. The technology, developed by Stanford neurosurgeon Dr SyncThink over a 10-year period, is an industry first, while the partnership is another example of a department looking to incorporate the usage of such technologies to improve student wellbeing.
