Sway Medical partners with Sport Science Center at TCU to further concussion and sports performance research

The Sport Science Center, led by Dr. Jonathan Oliver, is part of the Health Innovation Institute at TCU (HIIAT) in the Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences. The mission of the Sport Science Center is to bring science and practice together to improve sport performance and athlete health from the laboratory to the playing field, and from the playing field to the laboratory.

Sway Medical provides clinically validated mobile neurological assessment software used by medical professionals in their concussion management programs. The Sway Balance System is FDA cleared for use by doctors and athletic trainers in their sideline concussion assessment and return to play decisions.  Sway's technologies are in use today at all levels of sports – professional, college, high school and youth and Sway is actively expanding its research and development partnerships.

"We are excited to be affiliated with TCU and to be an early supporter of the Sport Science Center," said Sway CEO Alem Boukadoum. "As a mobile medical device company, Sway is research driven and we want to be good community partners supporting growth of research institutions here in North Texas.  With Dr. Oliver's longstanding focus on concussion research, we believe this relationship will support our core mission of improving outcomes."

"We very much appreciate Sway's support of the Sport Science Center and what it means for our ongoing research," said Dr. Oliver. "The support provided by Sway will not only be used to help further our understanding of sports-related head trauma but will also be instrumental to the students within the Center, by directly supporting their ongoing research and education."
