Arizona student creates concussion app

An Arizona  sophomore Sierra Dean is giving finishing touch on her new app that, she developed  in a classroom full of other students doing similar things.

"This is the first home screen and after that, you go through and this is just an overview and these are each of the questions that would be asked by a coach," she said.

The valley student has been teamed up with Banner Concussion Center for the symptoms and signs to watch for. The initiative will offer coaches to be able to see if an athlete has sustained a concussion.

"They gave me a list of questions and they also gave me a bunch of symptoms," she said. "You have to ask and they gave me a list of those, they basically out-looked the medical aspect of this app."

"I play soccer and it took her out of soccer entirely," she said. "She had to quit and she had really bad grades for awhile and she just had to, it took her a long time to come back from it."
