From discharge to recovery-  one clear route.

For every traumatic brain injury patient leaving the hospital, TBI Navigator proposes three care routes — fastest access, sustainable for the family, maximum intensity — with the trade-offs made explicit. The physician chooses and signs.

One patient. Three routes.

This is a real discharge case, and the actual output of the app. Every route is possible. They optimize different things — and each one costs something. That cost is currently invisible at discharge. Families discover it three weeks later.

What is lost

No speech therapy here, so the aphasia goes untreated through the highest-yield weeks.

One hour three times a week is below the therapy dose associated with functional recovery in moderate TBI.

At 420 km the spouse cannot be present, and for a patient with aphasia that absence has its own cost.

Estimates based on reported data, as of 1 August 2026.

Scroll sideways to compare the routes.

TBI Navigator does not choose. The physician selects the route, signs it, and the family leaves with it printed.

Demo case. Center data pending clinical verification.

Some steps are not optional

These appear on all three routes, with their deadlines. Most are missed at discharge.

Cranioplasty
3 to 6 months after craniectomy
Imaging follow-up
as scheduled by the neurosurgical team
Post-traumatic epilepsy monitoring
first 12 months
Swallowing assessment
before discharge home
Neuropsychological reassessment
at 3 months
Disability certificate file
as soon as the discharge summary is issued

The disability certificate is the single largest financial difference for a family in the first year, and it is almost never mentioned at discharge.

What TBI Navigator does

🧭

The Navigator

Three care routes from acute discharge to neurorehabilitation and community services, each with its trade-offs made explicit. The physician chooses and signs. Printed or accessed anytime via QR code.

💬

The Explainer

Clinical outcomes translated into plain language. What happened, what it means, what to do next, and what to watch for — written for families, not for specialists.

Two layers of support

TBI Navigator combines AI instruments that work continuously with human sessions that arrive fully briefed. The instruments do the tracking. The people make the decisions with you.

How it works

1

The clinician completes a structured form at discharge — about 90 seconds.

2

The app proposes three routes from a database of referral centers, each optimizing something different.

3

The clinician adds anything the form missed, chooses the route, and signs it.

4

The family leaves with a printed route sheet and a QR code for access from home.

TBI Navigator instruments support navigation and communication. They do not provide medical advice. Every route is verified by a physician.
