State of the art online assessment technology
Cognitron is a flexible platform for assessing cognition and mental health remotely via web browsers and mobile applications.
The cognitive tests are specifically designed to run online without the need for supervision on practically any common home computer device, enabling very large scale and longitudinal studies to be conducted with minimal cost and effort.
The tests have demonstrated greater sensitivity than common supervised assessment scales to cognitive differences in a variety of clinical populations, including subtle changes that occur in early and prodromal stages of neurological conditions.
Assesment batteries can be configured for specific studies that sequence different combinations of cognitive tests and questionnaires as well as collecting actigraphy, free text and speech data.
The platform can automatically generate performance reports for participant feedback and diagnostic reports that can be sent directly into healthcare data systems.
Cognitron has been used to assess >500,000 people and is supporting a rapidly growing array of scientific studies, cohorts, registers and trials as well as being applied in the healthcare setting.
Over 500,000 individuals assessed to date
100+ extensively validated cognitive tasks
Support for multiple languages
>30,000 participants tested in parallel
Integrated into healthcare data systems
Used globally for healthcare and research
Cognitron Discovery
Our flexible online cognitive and behavioral testing platform with >100 scientifically validated cognitive and neuropsychological tests, supported by extensive published literature. Custom tests and questionnaires can be added on request.
Cognitron Health
Our extension of Cognitron for healthcare offers remote clinical assessments. Patients complete questionnaires and perform cognitive tests prior to their consultation, with autogenerated reports immediately saved to healthcare data systems.
