A Check-engine light for your brain part 2

I thought the idea of  a Check-engine light was interesting and did some research and found that although there are no devices, there are several software programs available that can be used to measure seniors' cognition levels and track them over time. Here are a few examples:

·        Cogstate: (https://www.cogstate.com/) Cogstate provides digital cognitive assessments that are used in clinical trials and healthcare settings. Their tests evaluate memory, attention, reaction time, and other cognitive functions. The results can be tracked and monitored over time to assess changes in cognitive performance.

·        BrainHQ (https://www.brainhq.com/): BrainHQ offers a range of online brain training exercises designed to improve cognitive skills. They also provide assessments to measure cognitive abilities and track progress. While the primary focus is on training, the assessments can be useful for monitoring cognitive changes in seniors.

·        Creyos (https://creyos.com/): Creyos offers a web-based platform for assessing and tracking cognitive function. Their tests cover various cognitive domains, including memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal abilities. Users can complete the assessments periodically to track their cognitive health.

·        CogniFit (https://www.cognifit.com/): CogniFit provides brain training programs and assessments to evaluate cognitive abilities. Their assessments cover areas such as memory, attention, perception, and executive functions. Results can be tracked over time to identify cognitive changes.

·        CNS Vital Signs (https://www.cnsvs.com/) : CNS Vital Signs offers computerized neurocognitive assessments for measuring cognitive function. Their tests cover a broad range of cognitive domains and provide detailed reports that can be used for tracking cognitive changes.

These software programs can provide valuable insights into cognitive function, they should not replace a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional. These tools can be used as adjuncts to clinical assessments and are best utilized in consultation with healthcare providers.
