Concussion is a common condition that can lead to a constellation of symptoms that affect quality of life, social integration, and return to work. Despite the existence of evidence-based strategies that can improve a patient's experience after concussion, often people remain unaware of these and receive limited support during their recovery.

They have recently published the results of their feasibility study. The clinical study took place at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Patients presenting to the emergency department with a concussion were invited to participate. A total of 50 participants were recruited and used HeadOn during their recovery.
