Alex Kelly shares the importance of Parachute's new Concussion Ed App and how it is used.
Parachute has just released its first app, Concussion Ed. Available in the Apple App Store as well as Google Play, it is designed to help Canadians prevent, recognize, manage and track concussion symptoms. Download it today! http://www.parachutecanada.org/concus...
Preventable injuries kill more Canadian children than any single disease, and more youth than all other causes combined.
Each year in Canada, preventable injuries cause:
- 16,000 deaths
- 60,000 disabilities
- 3.5 million emergency room visits
- a $27 billion economic burden to the Canadian economy
- and worst of all, 1 child dies every 9 hours.
Prevention is about education, knowledge and empowerment. Parachute is leading, inspiring and mobilizing Canadians of all ages. We are creating a movement and building awareness and understanding of the issue of injury, to keep Canadians safe at home, on the road, at work, and at play.
