Timely cognitive assessments following a sport-related concussion are essential. The Sway Medical Application offers a portable option for on-site cognitive assessment. This study evaluated Sway’s construct validity in 85 healthy college students by comparing performance with the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing and traditional neuropsychological tests. Sway demonstrated statistically significant but moderate to moderate-strong correlations (rs = −.41 to .64) with established measures across domains including executive functioning, processing speed, and memory. Findings provide preliminary support for Sway’s use as a complementary tool during multimodal sport concussion assessments. Further validation is needed in concussed and clinically diverse populations.
