Concussions are a very serious topic that affects both adults and children alike. As we expect, they occur during strong physical impacts including accidents or hard contact sports such as American football. However, they are prevalent in a larger variety of sports.In this episode, we talk to Dr Piya Sorcar, founder and CEO of CrashCourse and TeachAids.

Dr Piya Sorcar is the founder of TeachAids. She leads a team of world experts developing public health education content used in 82 countries. In this episode, we discuss Crashcourse, an education tool that aims to reduce the effect of concussions through interactive and virtual reality digital content. Learn about her journey, funding, creating compelling digital content and how universities, athletes and more are engaged in the initiative. What you will learn from this episode: What made TeachAids focus on developing CrashCourse? After expanding HIV education, TeachAids looked to researchers to think about the problems of tomorrow. They studied history and learned that cybersecurity, sexual abuse and sexual assault, and concussions were three key areas. They focused on concussions, initially in athletes, because more than three million sports and recreation-related concussions occur annually. Unfortunately, most people don't report them, and that leads to further injury. What are the products in the Crashcourse suite? The very first product is Crashcourse football. It has all the embedded messages about everything that you would need to know for concussions. It starts during an intense football game with a packed audience. The second product is the Brain Fly, which is in video as well as virtual reality. TeachAids partnered with Stanford University's neurosurgical simulation and virtual reality centre to create an actual life through the human brain, showing the brain's blood and nervous system. And the third product is the Concussion Story Wall Website, an interactive database with more than 4000 video narratives from those injured and impacted by concussions. How does TeachAids fund its projects? TeachAids is 100% a nonprofit. All of the products are made available for free, and most of the people they have are volunteers. All of the experts they had and all of the celebrities and athletes involved have all volunteered. What is the WHY of your volunteers? What almost everyone has pointed to is the quality of the products. People want to be engaged with something that feels like it's going to have an impact. People get very excited to work on something that's high quality, which then creates a broader reach. And also, motivation comes from within. Everyone who cares so much realises how much work the project is. So they only ask others that they know can truly invest in the work. “When it comes to giving, people can either give their money or give their time. - Vinay” What's been one of the most influential and helpful resources for TeachAids? Human capital has been the most helpful. They give all of their products out for free, and they cost many millions of dollars to produce. And there's no way that they could raise that many millions of dollars to make it. And so, it's a lot of people donating different kinds of talent to make it happen.

If you haven't seen cheer, go to YouTube. It's incredible! Athleticism, skill and, perhaps most importantly, trust in teammates are vital. USA Cheer develops interest and grows participation of the sport of cheer - and also STUNT - while also promoting safety and safety education for cheer in the United States. Which explains their recent partnership with TeachAids. Erin, Ashley Hiscock (Premier Athletic Therapy and coach of MUN Cheer - Episode 28) and I talk to Executive Director, Laurie Harris, and Director of Education and Programs, Jim Lord, about cheer, concussions in cheer, and the importance of getting everyone involved (coaches, parents, athletes) in athlete safety and education!

1 in 5 High School athletes will get a concussion and more than 2.5 million young people suffer a concussion in the United States each year. With proper care, most concussions can heal within 10 days, but the overwhelming majority of students, parents, and coaches are unaware of the latest science about prevention and treatment of concussions. If not treated properly, a concussion may have lasting physical, emotional, and cognitive effects. After two years of research, six months of production, and thousands of hours of user-testing, CrashCourse by Teach Aids provides students, parents, and coaches with the latest medical knowledge on the prevention and treatment of concussions. I wanted to find out more about they are also using cutting-edge, immersive experiences in VR to appeal to a digital native generation and demonstrate increased empathy and learning. So I invited Dr. Piya Sorcar onto my daily tech podcast to learn more. Dr. Piya Sorcar is the founder and CEO of TeachAIDS, a Lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, and an Adjunct Affiliate at the Stanford School of Medicine. She leads a team of world experts in medicine, public health and education to develop software that solves numerous persistent problems in HIV prevention. Founded at Stanford University, TeachAids is a nonprofit social venture that creates breakthrough software addressing numerous persistent problems in health education around the world. TeachAids uses a research-based design process to develop medically-accurate, pedagogically-grounded, and culturally-tailored animated software to optimize learning and retention in 82 countries. It is backed by Google, Microsoft, Barclays, UNICEF, and others, and partnered with 250+ governments, school systems, and NGOs around the world.
