BrainCheck: Helping Physicians Care for Dementia Patients

Used in over 200 clinical practices around the world, BrainCheck is helping doctors, caregivers and dementia patients work together to lessen the toll of the degenerative disease. Founded in 2015, the enterprise tech company uses interactive cognitive assessment and care management technology to make caring for dementia patients easier for all involved. "To date, more than 100,000 individuals are using BrainCheck to monitor their cognitive health, and this is only the beginning," David Eagleman, co-founder and chief science officer of BrainCheck, said in a statement. "We're providing a platform for patients, caregivers, and physicians to work together to manage one of the biggest public health crises of our time." BrainCheck uses tests administered from an iPhone, iPad or desktop computer to interpret a patient's current level of cognitive functioning to develop a customised treatment plan.
