With over 11,000 neurosurgery and radiotherapy systems installed globally, Brainlab has become a leader in the neurosciences industry. From developing less invasive cranial surgery approaches to precision radiotherapy treatments to avoid critical areas of the brain, Brainlab is dedicated to the preservation of neurocognitive function. The development of a complementary neurocognitive measurement tool to aid healthcare professionals and patients is a logical extension of the company’s business.
COGNITION, a free neurocognitive assessment app, is a tool to be used directly by patients in close collaboration with their healthcare providers. The app contains a set of tasks that generate useful data about some of the patient’s cognitive skills. The data will help the healthcare provider to track potential changes in the results of these tasks and identify if these changes may potentially require further formal investigation.
The app was developed, based on established neurocognitive tests, to give healthcare providers supplementary data about their patients. The app was also created to be engaging for the patient that is completing the tests. The app’s subway-themed design guides the user, helping navigate a clear path through the given tasks.
Disclaimer: The results of the app tasks should only be interpreted by a healthcare provider. This application is not intended for diagnosis nor to replace a formal neuropsychological / neurocognitive evaluation.
