Mobile/Tablet Validation of the Cogniciti Brain Health Assessment

What is this Study about?

This study measures how well an online assessment measures brain health on mobile devices. The assessment includes different memory and attention tasks completed on a mobile device or tablet. We are also looking for volunteers for a one-session study to support the development of the desktop version of the Brain Health Assessment.

What Will Happen in This Study?

Participants will take part in a study validating a mobile/tablet-administered cognitive assessment designed to detect subtle cognitive changes associated with aging. Participation takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Participants will complete the assessment twice: once on the first day and again one week later on a mobile/tablet device. By participating, volunteers will support the accessibility of Cogniciti’s Brain Health Assessment on mobile and tablet devices. Since this is a validation study, participants will not receive a score at the end of the assessment.

Who is Eligible to Participate in this Study?

  • Are between the ages of 20–35, 50–65, or 80–95
  • Are fluent in English
  • Have no significant concerns about memory, and have no mild cognitive impairment, vascular dementia, Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, any cancer treated with chemotherapy, brain tumour, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, or current depression
  • Have access to a mobile/tablet and/or a computer
