Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury has been established as a priority research area for public
health, affecting an estimated 69 million individuals worldwide each year1. Large scale collaborative datasets may help to better understand this heterogenous
and chronic health condition. In this paper we present TBIBank; an innovative digital
health resource that aims to establish a shared database for the study of communication
disorders after TBI. We provide an overview of the current database, the standard
discourse protocol used for the main TBIBank corpus, and the automated language analyses
that can enable diagnostic profiling, comparative evaluation of treatment effects
and profiling of recovery patterns. We also highlight the e-learning component of
the digital health resource as a research translation tool. We conclude with a discussion
of the potential research, clinical, and educational applications of TBIBank and future
directions for expanding this digital resource.
