The system includes a second assessment tool being a wearable device operable to wrap around a body part of a subject. One or more second sensors are disposed on the wearable device operable to sense a target area at the body part. The system collects first sensor data, from the first assessment tool, corresponding to an assessment event at the first assessment tool; and collects second sensor data, from the second assessment tool, corresponding to the assessment event. Additionally, the system presents, at a display, an indication of an objective neurological assessment parameter value calculated based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data. An objective neurological assessment parameter value can be calculated based on the first sensor data and/or the second sensor data.
