Measurement, then an opinion. Not the other way around.
Built for both plaintiff and defense files where TBI is the fight — motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, workers’ compensation, personal injury, and remote IMEs.
Expert opinions
Written and oral testimony based directly on hard science and statistical analysis of quantifiable data. Substantially stronger evidence than a neurologist or radiologist's subjective opinion; yet designed for deposition or a jury that has never heard the word "saccade".
On-site recording
Dr. Gitchel travels to the plaintiff to record data in a friendly location, typically in plaintiff counsel's office. Easy and flexible scheduling options. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible for both the plaintiff as well as both legal teams.
TBI Severity stratification
Not only answers present/absent, but also stratifies injuries as normal, concussion, mild, moderate, and severe TBI. Grounded in the largest funded ($145M), largest enrollment (3,371 subjects to date) life-time longitudinal study on TBI conducted at Veteran Affairs.
Eye movement interpretation
Eye movements that have been recorded in a prior IME or existing medical record can be utilized by Dr. Gitchel. His background in designing and building eye tracking hardware and software makes him uniquely able to analyze data from any source.
Malingering identification
Eye movements are "hard-wired" in the brain, and cannot be modified or intentionally slowed. Any attempt to fake the system or exagerate symptoms is readily evident in the recording. A quantifiable recording and statistically validated evidence of malingering is a powerful section of testimony.
Remote IME / recording
Through RightEye's nation-wide network of cloud-connected eye tracking systems. Schedule the subject with a local provider and receive an expert interpretation, often within 24 hours of data collection. (Availability subject to local providers. Dr. Gitchel has no affiliation with outside local clinics)
