Sallie™ is a HIPAA secured, Class 2, FDA Clinical Decision Support App. She can go anywhere. Your phone, tablet or desktop.
She guides you to track your symptoms and your activities. Tracking will help you understand what causes your symptoms to get better or worse.
Why is tracking important?
There is no magic pill, or one size fits all solution for head injuries. The variety of head injuries is what makes the SO DIFFICULT to treat. Your brain makes you YOU. You need a personalized care plan mapped to your symptoms.
Your brain runs your entire body. And there is a strong chance your symptoms - migraines, sleep disruption, stomach or bowel issues, temperature disregulation, mood swings, the list is endless - seems random. Chances are they are not random, they just seem to be. Symptoms can be triggered (worsened) by your daily activities. This is why tracking becomes crucial to what you need, not what "let's start with this" approach. Sallie™ offers you the chance to track, knowing your symptoms, know your triggers and show your provider your data so they can tailor your rehabilitation to your needs.
Subtle changes to your day-to-day life matter. Weekly or every 6-week doctors' visits are just snapshots. These visits do not tell the whole story. Sallie provides a stream of information. Sallie™ listens to you. Sallie™ turns your words into data!
Sallie™ was trained with AI models to compute the severity of your head injury. We call this the Injury Impact Severity Score (IISS)™. This number helps providers remove the guesswork about how bad your head injury really is.
We all know there are good & bad days. We don't want to be injured, but we don't understand why symptoms come & go, or why they take so long to appear, or why they will not go away. Why can't you be you again?
This is where the IISS™ can help. To properly score your injury and when combined with Sallie™, personalize your recovery.

"I wish I'd known about your symptom tracker when I was trying to resolve my post concussion symptoms 3 or 4 years ago. I was overwhelmed with trying to make sense of all the different things going on with me but I only managed to track my headaches and that was just on a handwritten chart. Using your online tracker would have saved me so much energy, suffering and time. I know it would have helped me to resolve my symptoms much sooner."

Here's a 2-step roadmap to your recovery.
You must rule out any physical damage to your brain, neck or spine. Like many of us, you may have had an MRI or CAT scan, even an x-ray. But these images & scans are very unreliable (link). If you are interested in learning about video-motion x-rays for head and neck injuries, watch this video.
Get started on Sallie and begin tracking your symptoms.
Establish a Baseline: Track for 2-4 weeks to allow clear trends to appear in your data.
You have been tracking for a few weeks. You are starting to see common symptoms appear. View the specialized videos for the specific symptoms you are experiencing. Here is a list of common ones:
You will go through a series of diverse symptoms, and it will seem like there is no rhyme or reason for what is happening. Caregivers are often impacted & may be confused and become frustrated because trying to help find the right provider is overwhelming, while not fully understanding what is happening inside their loved one's head. Our blogs provide more research, resources and treatment options to help you recover as best as possible. This blog may help as a starting point:
