The Impact of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury has consequences that extend beyond the initial event.

For some people, symptoms can affect work, education, sport, family life and long-term wellbeing.

The challenge extends across healthcare systems, Defence, professional and community sport and wider society.

Reliable assessment and a better understanding of recovery therefore have implications well beyond the emergency department.

GLIA's contribution

GLIA Diagnostics is developing a blood-based microRNA platform designed to support objective assessment of traumatic brain injury, including concussion — with the aim of providing additional biological information across clinical care, Defence and sport.
