Cognitive Change
Conditions
Brief summary
Currently, cognitive screening is performed in-person after the individual expresses symptoms or it is noticed by someone close to them and are largely done in clinical settings. The digital Virginia Tech Carilion Cognitive Examination (VTC-Cog) utilizes smart devices and allows for the early establishment of an individual's cognitive baseline. VTC-Cog has been designed to test all major aspects of cognition, as currently assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) but on a digital platform. The VTC-Cog allows for standardized scoring with no clinician bias and provides a clinician report that breaks down distinct changes in different areas of cognition (executive, visuospatial, memory, etc.) in order to refine clinician analysis.
