Hypothesis

The study aims to validate the reliability of BrainCheck when self-administered remotely.

Conclusion

The study found that remote self-administration of BrainCheck assessments is feasible and reliable.

Supporting Evidence

  • Participants completed assessments on various devices including iPads, iPhones, and laptops.
  • Moderate to good agreement was found between self- and examiner-administered performance.
  • Intraclass correlation ranged from 0.59 to 0.83.
  • Results confirmed non-significant differences in performance independent of testing order, ISI, device, and demographics.

Takeaway

This study shows that people can take brain tests on their own at home and still get good results.

Methodology

Participants completed a battery of eight cognitive assessments twice, once self-administered and once administered by a research coordinator.

Participant Demographics

60.9% female; age range 52-76.
