What King-Devick technologies does

King-Devick Technologies, Inc. is a privately held medical technology company that develops evidence-based, FDA-cleared eye movement (oculomotor) assessment tools primarily for rapid sideline concussion screening and broader neurological and visual function monitoring. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, the company's portfolio is anchored by the King-Devick Test (KDT) — a two-minute rapid number-naming assessment for saccadic eye movement evaluation that carries FDA pre-amendment certification and is co-branded with Mayo Clinic under a 2015 equity partnership. The product suite spans three categories: Sideline Assessment (KDT and the FDA 510(k)-cleared K-D Balance vestibular app), Reading Solutions (K-D RAP, K-D Test Pro Reading, KD4KiDs), and Neurological Function (K-D Test Pro Monitoring, K-D Eye Tracking Software, the MiHED migraine early-detection app, and the K-D Variable Color Contrast Sensitivity Acuity Chart).

The technical foundation combines rapid number-naming methodology with automated speech recognition (ASR) to objectively quantify saccadic eye movements, attention, and language function, with results compared against age-related normative databases. The KDT is validated in over 200 peer-reviewed studies showing 86% sensitivity and 90% specificity for concussion detection, and the technology holds patents-pending status. International regulatory footprint extends to Health Canada medical device licensure, EU Class I Medical Device registration, and Australia TGA registration.

The company operates a hybrid B2B/B2C model: enterprise field sales to U.S. professional sports leagues (NHL, NFL, NASCAR, MLL, CFL, NWHL, AHL) and major NCAA Division I programs (Ohio State, Miami, Florida, Penn, Washington, Idaho), combined with direct-to-consumer distribution via its own e-commerce storefront and iOS/Android app stores. Pricing spans per-athlete annual licenses ($10-$20), annual per-license clinical monitoring ($44.20-$52), one-time reading packages ($200 for 20 screenings, $650 for 10 activations), and a monthly MiHED consumer subscription at $799. Founder Dr. Steve Devick, OD leads as CEO and Chairman, with COO Samantha Figueroa, CTO Richard Cronin, and a Board including Mayo Clinic neurologist Dr. David W. Dodick; the company has disclosed no external institutional funding rounds.

Products and services

• King-Devick Test in association with Mayo Clinic (KDT) A two-minute rapid number naming assessment for concussion detection. Individuals read aloud single-digit numbers from a card or screen, evaluating impairments of eye movements (saccades), attention, and language function. FDA pre-amendment certified for assessment of saccadic eye movements. Used by sports organizations, schools, military, and healthcare providers.
• K-D Balance FDA 510(k) cleared mobile application for vestibular dysfunction assessment. Measures three balance stance metrics — double stance, right tandem stance, and left tandem stance — using the iPhone/iPod Touch internal accelerometer. Used by clinicians and sideline medical staff.

Direct peers

• ImPACT Applications: ImPACT Applications is the dominant computerized concussion assessment tool used widely by the NFL, NCAA, and high schools. It is the most direct competitor to the King-Devick Test for sideline concussion screening, targeting the same athletic trainers, sports medicine physicians, and school districts.
• SyncThink: SyncThink develops eye-tracking-based concussion and neurological assessment technology (EVO platform) used by the Golden State Warriors, NCAA, and military. It competes directly with King-Devick's oculomotor-based concussion screening and eye tracking software, and serves a similar sports medicine and clinical neurology market.
• RightEye: RightEye offers eye-tracking and oculomotor assessment tools used for concussion, vision, and reading performance evaluation in clinical and sports settings. It overlaps directly with KDT's clinical oculomotor assessment and reading acceleration product lines, and serves a similar optometry and rehabilitation customer base.
• Oculogica: Oculogica is a neurodiagnostic company that uses eye-tracking biomarkers to detect concussions and TBI. It is a direct peer in the objective eye-movement-based concussion assessment category, with comparable FDA pathway ambitions and clinical validation approach.

Emerging players

• BrainScope: BrainScope develops FDA-cleared, non-invasive, AI-powered devices for objective assessment of traumatic brain injury, including concussion. It is an emerging competitor in the broader TBI assessment category KDT targets, particularly for emergency departments and military use cases where the company also sells.
• C3 Logix: C3 Logix provides a comprehensive concussion management platform combining balance, cognitive, and oculomotor testing for athletic organizations. It directly overlaps with KDT's K-D Balance and KDT sideline offerings, targeting similar high school and collegiate athletic programs.
• BRAINBox Solutions: BRAINBox Solutions is developing AI-enabled, multi-modality blood-based and clinical diagnostic tests for mild TBI/concussion. It is an emerging player in the same objective concussion assessment category as KDT, with similar ambitions to displace subjective sideline screening tools.
• NeuroCatch: NeuroCatch is a Health Canada-cleared, rapid neurophysiological device for objective concussion and cognitive assessment using event-related potentials. It targets similar sports medicine, military, and clinical concussion use cases as KDT, and represents an emerging objective brain-function assessment alternative.

Broad incumbents

• NeurOptics: NeurOptics is an established medical device company specializing in pupillometry and neurological assessment in critical care, ICU, and research settings. While not a direct concussion screening competitor, it operates in the adjacent neurological assessment and monitoring category and uses similar FDA-cleared medical device channels.

Others

• Mayo Clinic: Mayo Clinic is King-Devick's flagship co-branding equity partner and a major clinical validator. As a healthcare system partner and originator of clinical validation studies, Mayo functions as an ecosystem enabler—channeling research, clinical credibility, and federal/military referrals to KDT.
