Main Advantages
Interface and Ergonomics
The touch-screen or tablet interface with an LCD screen system increases the stability for all major functions and subject responses, including reaction time. In addition, the participant interacts with the touch-screen, increasing co-operation and involvement while reducing study attrition.
Improved test presentation quality
All stimuli are presented for precisely the declared amount of time.
Increased reliability
Instructions are completely standardized.
Stimulus delivery is completely controlled.
Every response is recorded with millisecond accuracy.
Improved monitoring and data
The system facilitates continuous monitoring and data cleaning.
The near real-time web reporting system facilitates continuous monitoring for the CRA.
Examiner input screens are streamlined for flow, from the input of participant information through the running of tasks to the backup and transmission of data.
Complete datasets are uploaded automatically to a central monitoring site, assuring 100% verification and automatic cleaning.
Decreased training time and staffing costs
The Cogtest Console does not have to be administered by a psychologist. Test administration is simple and continuous. Testers can follow the script in the test administration manuals, ensuring standardized test administration across all test sites. In addition, the system includes a number of checks and balances which prevent the tester from making inaccurate entries into the system. |
