Summary
This study tests whether daily symptom tracking via smartphone can help teens with concussion get quicker access to specialty care. About 210 teens aged 13-18 who visit the emergency department with a concussion and are at high risk for long-term symptoms will report their symptoms daily for up to 28 days. If symptoms worsen or don't improve, an alert is sent to a nurse who helps schedule a specialist visit. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the chance of symptoms lasting beyond 28 days.

What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 210 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention relies on daily smartphone use, which may not work for all teens.
