SWAY Concussion Testing
July 30, 2023
Irene-Wakonda Parents & Athletes,
In cooperation with Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, the Irene-Wakonda athletic department has decided to transition to a different concussion baseline testing platform. The new platform is Sway Medical, and the attached flyer provides a brief overview of the app based testing. One big advantage to the Sway platform is its portability. Once the app is installed on your device you can complete testing anywhere you have a cellular or Wi-Fi connection. The Sanford athletic training staff will be coordinating baseline testing times with each team. We would kindly ask that if your athlete has a cell phone, they download the Sway Medical app prior to their scheduled testing. There will be a limited number of mobile devices available for athletes without a personal device. Please reach out to Stephanie Ganschow at stephanie.ganschow@k12.sd.us with any question or concerns. Thank you for helping us with this important piece of athlete safety!
