HQ Baseline vs. C3 Logix

Same multimodal battery. Without the iPad cart.

C3 Logix proved that a multimodal baseline beats a single-domain test. HQ Baseline keeps the multimodal coverage and gets you out of the iPad-cart, single-tester workflow — every athlete uses their own phone, in parallel.

Why teams switch

HQ Baseline vs. C3 Logix, in plain English.

C3 Logix was the right answer for the 2015 era: an iPad with sensors, used by an athletic trainer one athlete at a time. The clinical battery is still strong.

The operational problem is the iPad cart. You can only test as many athletes per hour as you have devices and proctors. A program with 300 athletes turns into a multi-day project.

HQ Baseline runs the same modalities — motion-capture balance, reaction time, memory, symptoms — on the athlete’s own phone. One QR code, everyone tests at once, no shared device, no proctor bottleneck.

  • Bring-your-own-device, not iPad cart

    Athletes baseline on their personal phones. You don't buy iPads, you don't sanitize between athletes, and you don't bottleneck on device count.

  • Group testing in parallel

    C3 Logix is sequential — one device, one athlete at a time. HQ Baseline tests an entire roster simultaneously from one shared QR code.

  • Transparent flat pricing

    C3 Logix pricing is quote-only and varies by program. HQ Baseline is included with HQ at a flat per-program rate, published.

  • Self-administered

    C3 Logix requires a proctor to walk an athlete through each module. HQ Baseline uses voice prompts and on-screen guidance so athletes self-administer reliably.

HQ Baseline vs. C3 Logix — questions we hear

Honest answers about how HQ Baseline compares to the C3 Logix iPad-based concussion baseline, and what switching actually looks like.

Is HQ Baseline a C3 Logix alternative?
Yes. Both are multimodal concussion baselines covering balance, cognitive, symptoms, and reaction time. The operational model is the difference — HQ Baseline uses the athlete's own phone in parallel; C3 Logix uses program-owned iPads sequentially.
Can I migrate C3 Logix history?
We can usually import historical results as reference records inside HQ so you don't lose the longitudinal view. Contact us — the export your athletic trainer can pull from C3 Logix gets translated into HQ on our end.
Do I need to buy iPads?
No. HQ Baseline is browser-based on any modern phone or tablet — including the device the athlete already owns. Schools and clinics deploy it without a hardware purchase.
Is the balance test equivalent?
We use motion-capture mBESS scored from the device's accelerometer and gyroscope, the same physical principle as C3 Logix. The device placement (against the lower back) is the same — what changes is which device you use.
