Traumatic brain injuries share a common denominator: their effects are diverse, with varying and confusing symptoms that defy diagnosis and treatment. They confound physicians leaving victims with unanswered questions, poor prognosis, and a debilitating quality of life with insurmountable and increasing dependence upon caregivers. Family caregivers are the first to notice subtle changes in their loved one’s condition, but most caregivers are unable to articulate these changes. They dismiss them, thinking the signs may not be that significant when the converse is true. Caregivers need a simple, accurate, standardized, and customized communication solution to systematically articulate their observations of the patient before, during, and after TBI therapy.
