However, when the criteria in the first post of this topic are applied to the software in my second post you will see that there is not one single software program that meets all the requirements. So, until the innovators come up with one device that meets all of their criteria, here is a combination of tools and approaches that can collectively address most but not all of their criteria:
BrainHQ (https://www.brainhq.com/
): BrainHQ offers cognitive training exercises and assessments. While it
doesn't provide a single "cognition score," it offers various tests
targeting different cognitive domains. Users can track their performance on
these tests over time and receive feedback on their progress. The assessments
cover multiple aspects of cognition, including memory, attention, and
reasoning.
Cogstate (https://www.cogstate.com/
): Cogstate provides digital cognitive assessments used in clinical trials.
Although it doesn't have a specific user-facing interface for tracking
individual progress, it offers validated tests that cover multiple cognitive
domains. These tests can be administered periodically to assess changes in
cognitive performance.
AlzBetter (https://www.alzbetter.com/
): AlzBetter is a caregiver-focused platform that allows family members or
caregivers to track and monitor an individual's cognition. While it doesn't
provide a direct cognition score, it facilitates tracking cognitive changes
over time through customizable assessments and data input from family members.
It also offers educational resources for understanding and interpreting the
results.
By utilizing a combination of these tools, seniors and their
families can have a more comprehensive approach to tracking cognitive function
and monitoring changes over time. These tools can serve as supportive measures
but should not replace proper medical evaluation.
