Athletes downplay symptoms.
Biology doesn't lie.
TraumaScore is a handheld saliva reader that measures S100B — a protein released from damaged tissue — and delivers an objective recovery number in 15 minutes. No blood draw. No lab. No guessing.
Pilot programs begin Q1 2027.

How it works
Saliva to score in 15 minutes
Swab
Athlete swabs their cheek. A 10-second saliva sample — no blood draw, no needles, no trained clinician required.
Read
Insert the test strip into the handheld reader. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measures S100B protein levels in 15 minutes.
Score
Results sent via Bluetooth to the companion app. Track your TraumaScore over time — know when your body is actually recovered.
Why TraumaScore
The glucose meter for high impact trauma
No existing tool combines an objective biomarker, non-invasive collection, and sideline-ready results. TraumaScore is the first.
Objective Biomarker
Measures S100B protein — released from damaged tissue including muscle, cartilage, and neural cells. Biology can't be faked.
Non-Invasive
A simple cheek swab — no blood draw, no needles, no trained phlebotomist. Athletes self-administer in seconds.
Sideline Ready
15-minute results from a portable handheld reader. No lab, no hospital, no appointment.
Recovery Tracking
Serial testing maps your S100B trajectory. See when your body returns to your personal pre-season baseline.
Trainer Dashboard
Athletic trainers manage rosters, track baselines, and document return-to-play decisions with objective data.
No FDA Required
Positioned as a wellness device — same category as WHOOP and Oura Ring. We report data, not diagnoses.
The science
S100B: the recovery biomarker others abandoned
S100B is released from damaged tissue — brain, muscle, cartilage, skin. Competitors abandoned it because extracranial sources reduce specificity for brain-only diagnosis. We see this as a strength.
TraumaScore is a recovery monitor, not a diagnostic. Every workout, every practice, every game produces measurable S100B. The more reasons to test, the more strips you use. Exertion is a feature, not a bug.

From the people who need it
There is no objective, sideline-ready tool to assess whether a fighter has fully recovered. Return-to-training decisions rely on how the fighter says they feel — which is inherently unreliable.
Having an easy and affordable test for TBI and trauma would absolutely be useful for us as a combat sports gym.
Fitness and health enthusiasts would find a tissue recovery biomarker like this extremely useful!
