NeuroRestore AI

Inspiration 💡

Over 3.8 million concussions and mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBIs) occur annually. Patients suffering from Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) face long wait times (4-8 weeks) for specialist visits and lack objective, quantifiable telemetry at home. Furthermore, standard digital displays trigger photophobia headaches. Partnered with Concussion Alliance and Synapse chapters (Johns Hopkins, Rutgers, Pitt, UW), we engineered NeuroRestore AI to make clinical neuro-rehabilitation accessible, objective, and strain-free.

What It Does 🚀

NeuroRestore AI provides a comprehensive at-home clinical concussion assessment and recovery platform:

1. Interactive VOMS (Vestibular-Ocular Motor Screening) Testbed: Digital Smooth Pursuit, Horizontal Saccades, Vertical Saccades, and Near Point of Convergence (NPC) with ocular latency scoring and post-test symptom provocation assessment.
2. Acoustic Voice Neuromotor Biomarker Lab: Measures speech rate (WPM), hesitation pause gaps, and vocal jitter % to classify cognitive speech fatigue via Web Speech and Web Audio APIs.
3. Adaptive Photophobia & Blue-Light Shield: 4 visual comfort modes (Clinical Dark, Warm Amber Filter, Bionic Dyslexia Typography, Sensory Minimal) eliminating screen headache triggers.
4. SCAT-6 22-Symptom Severity Matrix: Standardized 6th Edition Sport Concussion Assessment Tool Likert scale covering Physical, Cognitive, Emotional, and Sleep domains.
5. 432Hz Binaural Neuro-Regenerative Soundscape: Synthesizes alpha brainwaves for parasympathetic vagus activation and sleep restoration.
6. Zurich Consensus 6-Stage Return-to-Activity Roadmap & 1-Click Neurologist Dossier: Tracks progressive recovery milestones and exports printable physician care sheets or structured clinical Markdown.

How We Built It 🛠️

• Frontend & UI: React 19, TypeScript, Vite 6, and Tailwind CSS 3.4 with obsidian glassmorphism, medical teal (#0d9488), and amber accents.
• Audio & Speech Telemetry: Native Web Audio API (stereo channel merging for binaural beats) and Web Speech API.
• Clinical Alignment: Concussion Alliance, SCAT-6, VOMS, and Zurich Consensus Return-to-Activity protocols.

Challenges We Faced 🧗

Designing ocular movement animations that provide accurate tracking without triggering visual vestibular vertigo was a delicate balance. We implemented configurable velocity sliders (0.2–1.2 Hz) and an amber blue-light filter to ensure tests can be performed safely by acute concussion patients.

What We Learned 🎓

Combining multimodal biomarkers (vestibular-ocular tracking + acoustic hesitation + SCAT-6 self-reporting) gives a far more complete clinical picture of brain healing than symptom questionnaires alone.

What's Next 🔮

• Computer vision webcam gaze tracking integration with WebGazer.js.
• Dual-task cognitive motor testing combining simultaneous walking/balance and arithmetic memory.
