Our cognitive screening app utilizes smartwatch technology to address the critical need for accessible and economical health monitoring solutions for an aging population.
Yields better outcomes by enhancing early management of dementia progression.
Empowers providers to confidently recommend treatment.
Increases access with a test that can be completed by anyone, including patients in a bed or wheelchair.
Derives results from over a decade of patient data.
Enables patients to complete the test at home or in assisted living environments .
This tool, based on a patented Upper Extremity Function (UEF) test, involves a 60-second normal arm bending task in addition to a cognitive task of counting numbers. Using this app, we measure motor function performance, assess counting performance based on voice recording, and assess heart rate (HR) dynamics, all through smartwatch platforms. The data collected allows healthcare providers to catch and treat early-stage mild cognitive impairment.
Our cognitive screening app will be implemented on a smartphone application. This application will receive data from the user’s smartwatch and process the data to provide a reliable cognitive score based on our previously validated data.
Efficient data management is needed due to the large volumes of continuous gyroscope and heart rate data necessitating scalable storage and processing. To manage data efficiently, we have implemented scalable cloud storage solutions by utilizing advanced database management systems optimized for handling large volumes of time series data.
