I have just finished my Honours Research on "if video games can be used in the return to play protocol for concussed athletes".

​

I have researched a variety of concussion assessments along with a series of video games associated with mental health. Using this research I developed  a video game that in theory could be used as a more engaging way of assessing whether or not a player is able to return to play their specific sport. 

​

My game is a 3D person Role Playing Game where different areas of the map correlate to different concussion assessment methods, for example reaction time, hand eye coordination and short term memory.

​

This is something close to my heart as through playing rugby I have seen people suffer from concussions and personally suffered one myself. So I would love to use my design ability and implement it on something that means a lot to me.
