What HeadCheck Health does

HeadCheck Health Inc., founded in 2013 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a private SaaS company that provides a digital concussion protocol management platform for sports organizations and medical staff. The platform standardizes, executes, and monitors concussion assessment and return-to-play workflows for professional, collegiate, and amateur sports leagues, with named enterprise customers including Major League Soccer (MLS), the Canadian Football League (CFL), USA Cycling, the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), the Western Lacrosse Association (WLA), the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL), and Cambrian College. The company reports scale metrics of 6,000+ organizations supported, 150,000+ athletes protected, and 200,000+ assessments performed on its platform.

The core technology is a cloud-based platform delivered through native iOS and Android applications and a web portal (portal.headcheckhealth.ca), built around the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG)-approved SCAT6 standard for concussion assessment. Distinguishing technical features include offline-capable sideline assessment, role-based dashboards separating medical and non-medical staff (HEADCHECK Manager), and pre-season baseline cognitive testing (HEADCHECK Pro). The platform integrates with adjacent sports technology vendors including TeamSnap for roster import, ImPACT for FDA-cleared neurocognitive testing, SyncThink (EYE-SYNC) for eye-tracking, and Healthe Athlete, Privit, and Athlete RMS for data exchange. Data is hosted on Canadian servers under HIPAA and PIPEDA compliance with a 10-year retention default.

HeadCheck monetizes through an enterprise subscription model with quote-based annual pricing sold via direct field sales to leagues, federations, and medical institutions. This is paired with a freemium product-led growth tier: a free CISG-approved SCAT6 app available on iOS, Android, and web allowing up to five athlete profiles, designed to funnel individual medical professionals and small organizations into paid enterprise plans. The go-to-market combines enterprise sales, content marketing (including the HEADCHECK Health Talks podcast), partner co-marketing with organizations such as CrashCourse, ImPACT, Rhea Health, and jack.org, and conference presence in the sports medicine ecosystem. Funding history includes earlier rounds in 2014 and 2016 and Nimbus Synergies-led rounds in August 2018 and March 2019 (with Threshold Impact joining in the latter); amounts are not publicly disclosed.
