Introducing HITIQ ConneQt: Advanced Concussion Healthcare for Community Sports

ConneQt is an integrated ecosystem that links players, team managers and caregivers to a telehealth service that specialises in the treatment of sports-related concussions.

Concussion-related injuries pose a significant threat to Australia’s favourite community sports. When a suspected concussion occurs at the community sports level, caregivers and guardians are often unaware of the appropriate course of action.

More than 80% of parents whose children play Australian Rules Football believe sporting clubs require greater education to safely manage potential concussion incidents. 40% of parents whose children do not play contact sports claim they do not want their children to participate due to the risks associated with head injuries.

The ConneQt platform provides community sports participants with immediate access to the highest standard of concussion-related medical care, regardless of geographic location.
