Pilot Testing a New Computer-based Screening Tool to Detect Cognitive Impairment

NCT01220674 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 152

Last updated 2023-09-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A computer-based neuropsychological assessment tool is being developed to help primary care physicians detect neurological and psychiatric disorders. The first version will be tested against current tests to confirm the tool's effectiveness. Data will be collected on how well the tool detects disease, how well patients understand the instructions and enjoy performing the tasks, and if particular trials or stimuli are too difficult or too easy for all subjects. Adjustments can then be made to the assessment tool, if needed. The initial participants will be age fifty-five to seventy-five with early dementias or mild cognitive impairment to reduce variability.
