Case Study: SyncThink achieves rapid, HIPAA-compliant sideline concussion assessments with Couchbase

Enabling rapid, secure concussion assessments on the sidelines and beyond

SyncThink develops EYE-SYNC, a VR-based eye-tracking system that provides objective, 60-second concussion assessments for athletes and clinical users. The company needed a robust data platform that would integrate with its headset and Android tablets, work offline in low-bandwidth environments like stadiums, meet HIPAA and FDA-related security requirements, and minimize IT overhead so the small team could focus on innovation.

SyncThink implemented Couchbase Mobile on Android tablets with a HIPAA-compliant Couchbase Server instance on Microsoft Azure, enabling offline data capture and fast, reliable syncing of large evaluation datasets when connectivity returns. The solution delivered responsive sideline testing, supported simultaneous player assessments, streamlined administration, and provided the scalability and security required for growth and new clinical partnerships.
