Summary

Patients with concussion symptoms are asked by their doctors to stretch, exercise, and practice mindfulness daily. Patients can have a hard time sticking to these activities, which can cause patients to feel symptoms for longer than if they stuck to the doctor's suggestions. Many areas of medicine are now using mobile health (mHealth) technology, such as phone applications, to help patients with their treatment plans. No study has looked at the use of phone applications in general population adults with a concussion. This study will look at patient symptoms, quality of life, and satisfaction with care between two groups of patients. Patients will be randomly placed into either the group that gets standard care or the group that will use the smartphone application. The investigators will compare changes in symptoms and quality of life, as well as satisfaction with care, 1 and 3 months after the patient's first visit with their doctor. The investigators hope this study helps to guide the use of mHealth technology in the treatment of post-concussion symptoms.
