1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Seem to have a new tool that can revolutionize concussion 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: diagnosis and Rugby neuro check headset to text concussions in 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: two minutes, simple yes or no, after measuring four hundred 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: thousand data points. Scanners get rolled out next month for 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: We're all Black. Steve Divine knows all about this needs 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: with us, Steve morning, Mike, very well, thank you. This 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: is cleared by the FDA. So this is a real 8 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: thing that will be rolled out in ten years time. 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: It'll be an everyday thing. Is that how you think 10 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: this will happen? 11 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: That's all we like to think. So, yeah, to make 12 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: it nice and available to every Zylander, no matter what sport. 13 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: Concussion is a real problem around our communities, and this 14 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 2: is a device that we think can go a long 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: way to helping people in those bad situations. 16 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: How does it how's it going to work? Do you 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: see it initially at elite level? Or if it is, 18 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: do you need to change the rules? I mean, you know, 19 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: when do you bring it on? What's the really you know, yes, 20 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: you've got concussion? Do you go off for two minutes 21 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: or six weeks? Or how it works? 22 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, at the moment where we're working with the New 23 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: Zealand Roby Union and any other partner who's interested. We 24 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 2: think it's a great tool to use alongside a doctor 25 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: to make those decisions in the professional game, but we 26 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: really feel that it's probably going to be most suited 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: in the amateur game where there isn't a doctor on 28 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: the sideline. Often it's a club coach or a parent, 29 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: even sometimes coaching junior sports teams, and they're just in 30 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: a situation where it's impossible for them to know. So 31 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: this device is portable, can be used on the sideline 32 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: and just a quick two minute test and it's a 33 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: yes or no whether the player can return to the 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: field or no he or she can't. 35 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: Go back to when you were getting Elite at sixteen, eighteen, nineteen, whatever, 36 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: and you've got a bang and you feel fine and 37 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: you're about to win the game and you're phizzing, and 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: someone comes in with a set of goggles and goes, mate, 39 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: you're off. How would you feel. 40 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: In that moment. You're probably only getting a test if 41 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: you've taken a reasonable hit, and people around you sort 42 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: of possibly that there is being a problem for these 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: coaches and whatnot, So you're probably in a situation where 44 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: you're maybe a big days a bit goggy. If you 45 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: take your head and bounce up pretty straight away, then 46 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 2: there's not a lot of chance. But normally, normally see 47 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: with the concussions and someone being knocked out there that 48 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: they're a lying on the ground, a stumbling that there 49 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: is a moment where they're not well. So it's in 50 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: those moments we need to test people because if that 51 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: person goes back on receives a second knock, that can 52 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: be fatal, and that's the one that we're really trying 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: to stop. 54 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: Super exciting mate, We'll go well with Steve Demy, a 55 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: former All Black and three thousand dollars a pop for 56 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: clubs and stuff. I mean, it may be an impediment, 57 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: but the highest level it certainly won't be able to 58 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: have thought. Which is interesting. So this morning so far 59 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: we've had that Huntington's breakthrough. This appears to be some 60 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: sort of game changer. That GP one discussion with David Seymour. 61 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of medicine going on at the moment. 62 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: Exciting times. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast listen 63 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: live to news talks.
