The three-month pilot project will see Cognetivity's CognICA™ brain health screening platform used with a select group of seniors to identify, assess and evaluate those suffering from, or at risk of, cognitive impairment. Testing will be carried out at predetermined evaluation intervals (initial reading; midway after intervention applied; final reading at the end of the pilot period) to track the impact of lifestyle interventions, improve on referral criteria to specialist care and provide a report showcasing the efficacy of the program.
Cognetivity's unique, five-minute, computerised CognICA™ brain health assessment tool, uses a patient's rapid categorisation of visual stimuli to provide a highly accurate and objective measurement of cognitive performance and potential impairment. The test is tablet-based, self-administered and is independent of language and education biases, thereby making it highly effective for comprehensive, scaled screening programs.
Pursuant to the terms of the Phase One pilot, its successful completion is expected to be followed by a Phase Two commercial deployment that would see the CognICA™ platform adopted as the standard cognition screening tool and rolled out across the LBSA network to provide unlimited testing for over 1,250 senior citizens.
"We're excited to work with an increasing number of organizations that are on the front lines of senior care and are expertly using our technology to monitor and assess patients while ensuring that they get the right treatment at the right time," said Dr.
