Our Research

INFORMED will develop and implement new approaches to diagnosis, prevention of subsequent 
injury, prevention and treatment of long-term persistent post-concussion symptoms. The diagnosis and management of concussion remains challenging, being reliant on self-reports and subjective measures of brain function. 

INFORMED brings together an Australia-wide team of scientists and clinicians who are
internationally recognised as leaders in concussion research, management, and policy.
