Australian hospital first to use NeuroCatch test, a brain wave device for concussion diagnosis.

Lake Macquarie Private Hospital in Australia is the first to use the NeuroCatch concussion test, which measures brain waves and cognitive function. The device, approved by the TGA, helps determine treatment options and fills a gap in concussion diagnosis. Patients pay a $400 gap fee and a $20-$35 NeuroCatch fee, which is rebated under Medicare. The technology, co-owned by neurologist Dr. Chris Levi, aims to improve brain health diagnostics.
