WATCH:
Prince George rugby players will now be treated for any concussion-related injuries thanks to HeadCheck Health’s mobile app.
BC Rugby has joined other organizations using the app for more concussion tests and data-driven assessments.
“It’s another tool we’re using to keep the game [and the players] safe and we definitely go with a recognize-and-remove policy. But, like any sport, there is going to be some sort of contact much like a car accident and biking.”
– Rugby Development Officer Darcy Patterson
PG Gnats Rugby adds its trying to be proactive about head injuries to ensure everyone has a long playing career.
