Concussion Coach is a free mobile app developed by the VA to help Veterans manage symptoms and recovery following a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Designed for use alongside a health care provider or independently, the app offers tools for tracking symptoms, learning about concussions, and building personalized coping strategies.
Available on iOS and Android, Concussion Coach includes educational resources, self-assessments, and guided exercises for managing common effects of concussion, such as headaches, memory issues, irritability, and sleep disruption. Users can log symptoms over time, set reminders, and access relaxation techniques like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.
While not a substitute for medical treatment, Concussion Coach provides Veterans with a secure, private, and practical tool to better understand and manage their recovery.
Note: Concussion Coach is a VA product developed in collaboration with Veterans and medical experts. Veterans are encouraged to consult their care team for personalized care and guidance.
