They’re Building a Business Around the Injury No One Can See

A normal scan does not always mean a brain is okay. Hazem and Mack sit down with Bishoi Attia and Michael Darrow of Brain Injury Blood Test, also known as Head Got Hurt, to explore how blood biomarkers may help identify traumatic brain injury after car accidents, concussions, and other impacts that do not always show up on traditional imaging. Bishoi shares the personal experience that drew him toward brain health, while Michael, a biomedical engineer and neuroscience researcher, explains the science behind biomarkers, recovery, and earlier intervention.

Traditional imaging looks for structural damage, but a concussion or traumatic brain injury may not show an obvious lesion even when a patient has real symptoms. 2. Head Got Hurt uses a blood test and proprietary scoring approach to examine biomarkers, symptoms, timing, and injury factors that may help clarify brain injury risk and recovery needs. 3. The company focuses largely on personal injury cases, helping people and attorneys document potential brain injury after car wrecks and find appropriate rehabilitation resources. 4. Michael explains that biomarkers have always existed in the body. Advances in research and testing now make it possible to identify and interpret them more effectively. 5. Bishoi and Michael see future applications beyond car accidents, including proactive brain-health monitoring, military care, and eventually youth and collegiate sports.
