Clinical Trials and Cognitive Testing

Different areas of application require specific test profiles

Computerized tests have become the gold standard when it comes to measuring cognitive function. Nevertheless, the field of application might differ depending on whether you are testing in a research, clinical trial, or healthcare setting.

Cognitive research needs highly sensitive tools that have been proven to measure brain function across cognitive domains and specific neural systems. Clinical trials may wish to target the key cognitive domains that are commonly affected by pharmacological manipulation, allowing assessment of efficacy as well as safety aspects of an investigational compound. Healthcare focuses on optimizing mental wellbeing and performance throughout life. By sensitively measuring cognitive performance, people with mental health disorders can be identified earlier, access treatments faster, and stay healthy for longer, improving quality of life and reducing costs.
