What It Is

Mayo Clinic Concussion Check is a concussion recognition and management solution designed for youth sports settings. Rather than a traditional online course, it is a combination of educational content + standardized protocol + the King-Devick Test App. It is intended to help parents and coaches without medical training identify signs of concussion when professional medical personnel are not available on site, and make conservative decisions about whether to remove an athlete from play.

Core Content

The solution uses a three-step process: the first step is Recognize and Remove, observing whether red-flag symptoms, signs, or complaints appear after an impact; the second step is a memory/orientation assessment, such as asking about the location, whether it is before or after lunch, whether it is practice or a game, the coach’s name, and so on; the third step is using the King-Devick Test to compare post-injury test results with the preseason baseline. The text repeatedly emphasizes that if an athlete fails any step, they should be removed from play immediately until cleared by a medical professional.

Pricing and Format

The page states that the purchase includes the Mayo Clinic Concussion Check Protocol, Mayo Clinic concussion education videos, and the King-Devick Test in association with Mayo Clinic, with subscriptions available for families or sports programs such as schools, clubs, high schools, and colleges. However, the main text does not disclose specific pricing, subscription periods, payment methods, or whether a trial is available.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are that the process is very clear and suitable for non-medical users to follow; the list of red-flag symptoms and the categorization of common symptoms lower the threshold for on-the-spot judgment; and the Mayo Clinic co-branding plus King-Devick’s claimed peer-reviewed research background add credibility. The limitations are that it cannot replace a medical diagnosis, and all positive findings still require professional evaluation; the K-D test depends on a preseason baseline and mobile devices, so preparation is needed before deployment; and key information such as pricing, service support, and language availability is incomplete.

Who It’s For

It is better suited for youth sports teams, school athletic programs, clubs, parents, and coaches, especially in training and competition settings where a team physician is not available. For users in China, the text does not provide information about Chinese-language support, domestic purchasing, compliance, or access instructions, so its accessibility from China cannot be determined.
