HitCheck is a mobile cognitive assessment aid that can be completed in approximately seven minutes using a smartphone. The platform uses brief, interactive, game-inspired activities to evaluate cognitive performance. HitCheck may be used on a routine basis to establish baselines and observe changes in cognitive performance over time.

HitCheck's cognitive assessment aid is performed on a smartphone, not a PC. The test takes approximately 7 minutes to complete, which is a fraction of the time of other programs. Plus, HitCheck offers video game like tests that are fun.

A baseline assessment captures an athlete’s cognitive performance under typical conditions and serves as a personal reference point. A post-impact assessment uses the same activities following a head impact or concerning event to observe how current cognitive performance compares to that established baseline.

HitCheck users can log into their account at any time to access their assessment history and securely share it with an athletic trainer or other qualified professional for review. For administrators managing teams or organizations, designated staff—such as an athletic trainer or program medical lead—can be added as an admin. This allows them to view individual profiles and assessment history for athletes within their organization through their own HitCheck account.

HitCheck is intended to be used as part of a broader concussion management approach and should not be used as a stand-alone assessment.

Yes. HitCheck is designed to be used by a wide range of athletes. Because each individual completes their own baseline assessment, subsequent assessments are compared to that person’s established baseline rather than to population averages. This individualized approach helps support consistent observation of cognitive performance over time across diverse athletes.

Baseline assessments are commonly completed at least once per year or prior to the start of a new sports season to establish a current point of reference. If you have questions or concerns, or if there is a history of prior head injuries, consider consulting a qualified healthcare professional before completing an assessment.

Baseline assessments are typically completed at the start of a season or program—before contact activities begin—to establish a consistent point of reference. For consistency, athletes are encouraged to complete their baseline assessment in an environment similar to where they normally practice or compete. For example, a soccer player may complete the assessment on the practice field, while an ice hockey player may complete it at the rink while wearing skates.
