The invaluable work conducted by this team is at the forefront of medical innovation, directly improving the health, performance, and recovery of our fighting force and athletes alike.

Cameron, PhD, MPH, ATC, FNATA, Director of Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research, Keller Army Hospital, was part of a team that validated Oculogica's SNAP, an FDA-cleared portable eye-tracking device, that is set to transform sideline concussion diagnosis by introducing an objective physiological measure.
