There's a new eye-tracking software that could help determine if a player is suffering from a concussion. Players look at a red dot on the screen and follow it with their eyes. The software can quickly track eye movement and detect possible problems like the slower, less controlled eye movements that are the typical symptom of a concussion. The test will be used on any smartphone or tablet. All that a user needs to add is a low-cost eye tracking device.
