From Baseline to Return: Cognitive Testing That Fits Your Protocol

Quick, Accurate Cognitive Tests
No Extra Equipment Needed

Fast, interactive tasks that capture brain performance

Sway’s cognitive testing uses brief, structured tasks to measure specific brain functions like processing speed, memory, and impulse control. Each test runs on a mobile device and is designed for quick completion without sacrificing accuracy.

Participants respond to visual cues by tapping, holding, or moving the device. The system records reaction time, accuracy, and consistency — turning each interaction into measurable data points. The result: a streamlined, objective way to assess cognitive function in nearly any setting, from the field to the clinic.

Critical moments for using cognitive testing in concussion care

Sway’s cognitive assessments help guide concussion management from the first evaluation to return-to-play decisions.

Baseline: Establish a record of each athlete’s normal cognitive performance before the season begins.
Post-Injury: Run tests immediately after a suspected concussion to capture early signs of impairment.
Progress Monitoring: Track recovery through repeated assessments, comparing results over time to support safe return-to-play decisions.

"When we do the sideline assessment, we are able to administer Sway quickly on the sideline. We used to use the SCAT 5 on paper for our assessment, but now we fully are using Sway."

Measure Cognition Where It Counts

Comprehensive Cognitive Test Suite

Sway includes six evidence-based cognitive assessments that target critical areas of brain function often affected by concussion. Each test is short, interactive, and designed for easy use in clinical or athletic environments.

Processing Speed & Reaction Time: Tests like Inspection Time and Reaction Time evaluate how quickly a user can process visual cues and respond to stimuli.
Memory & Mental Flexibility: Memory and Reverse Number Counting tasks assess working memory, sequencing, and the ability to adapt under pressure.
Impulse Control & Inhibition: The Impulse Control and Cued Stroop tests measure how well users can suppress automatic responses and follow rule-based decisions.

These tasks are designed to be brief, repeatable, and easy to administer—producing results that support confident return-to-play decisions.

Research-Based Testing You Can Rely On

Sway’s cognitive assessments follow research-driven models used in modern neurocognitive testing:

Evidence-Based Design: Each test is modeled after well-established cognitive neuroscience tasks to ensure clinical relevance and reliability.
Aligned with Concussion Protocols: Supports current concussion management standards
Consistent and Repeatable: Standardized delivery enables testing across multiple timepoints

Mobile. Fast. Ready Anywhere.

No Setup Required: All you need is a phone or tablet
Instant Results: Objective metrics delivered immediately
Integrated Reports: Exportable data supports communication with care teams, coaches, and families

Clinically Developed Cognitive Testing You Can Trust

Sway’s cognitive assessments are built on well-established tasks used in clinical research to evaluate brain performance. Each test targets a specific cognitive domain affected by concussion—like reaction time, executive function, or short-term memory—and is designed for high accuracy using device motion sensors and response timing. The testing process has been refined through internal quality control and external validation, helping athletic trainers and clinicians rely on Sway to detect changes that matter in concussion recovery.
