(OTCQB: EHVVF), a healthcare company dedicated to empowering the mental health community with next-generation digital solutions, today announced that the Company has created a baseline concussion assessment tool that is now available on Ehave Connect, a digital \"App Store\" designed to enhance access to a broad array of content offered by Ehave and its growing roster of mental healthcare partners.  The test will record baseline concussion symptoms using validated cognitive assessments and, via the robust Ehave Core Platform, provide extensive information about the athlete's history with concussions upon repeat assessment following acute injury.  The platform can also be used to track treatment progress to help guide return-to-sport and return-to-school strategies.\n\nAs many as 1.6-3.8 million sports-related concussions occur in the U.S. each year and it is estimated that up to 50% of concussions go unreported.  Factors contributing to the underreporting of concussive injury include gaps in knowledge concerning concussion symptoms, beliefs that the injury is not serious, and unwillingness to be removed from competition. Despite this underreporting, concussion incidence rates have been increasing in the past two decades.\n\nBaseline concussion tests are an important piece in concussion management, and an area that is uniquely suited to the benefits of Ehave's mental health platform. Baseline assessments are typically taken as a preventative measure prior to a sport season. The same test can be taken again by the athlete/caregiver after an injury to provide comparative pre- and post-injury scores. Comparing post-injury test scores of an individual to their own baseline test scores as opposed to the general population is considered best practice. \n\nPrateek Dwivedi, CEO ...
