Repeated blast exposure — from breaching, artillery, heavy weapons, or training — can add up over a career. This tool helps you capture that history, weigh it against the published science, and decide whether it’s time to talk to someone.
Log blast events across your service — weapon, distance, protection, and frequency — and build a cumulative record over time.
Record the symptoms that matter (headaches, sleep, memory, mood, balance) so you can see patterns and changes over time.
Your exposure is weighed against published blast-injury thresholds — with the references built in, so a clinician can check the work.
Turn it into a clear, plain-language summary you can hand to your provider to start the conversation about care.

Repeated blast (overpressure) exposure is recognized as a cause of traumatic brain injury, and the VA evaluates TBI claims that include blast exposure. This tool helps you document your exposure history and symptoms so you can bring an organized record to your VA provider. It does not file the claim, guarantee a rating, or diagnose you.
There is no single “proof,” but a clear, detailed record helps: what you were exposed to (breaching, artillery, heavy weapons, IEDs), how often, and the symptoms you’ve had since. This tool turns that history into a one-page summary you can hand to your VA provider.
Commonly reported symptoms include headaches, sleep problems, memory and concentration trouble, mood changes, balance issues, and ringing in the ears. They overlap with other conditions, so they’re worth a medical evaluation — a high score here is not a diagnosis.
No. The report gives a research-based estimate of your exposure and risk to inform a conversation with a clinician. It is not a diagnosis, not a medical device, and not a substitute for a VA or medical evaluation.
Yes. Your exposure and symptom records are stored securely, never sold or shared, and you can delete your account and data at any time.
