Early detection of mild cognitive impairment  LIMNO

On July 16, LIMNO released the “MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) Early Detection Tablet (Memory Forgetfulness Consultation Program / TDAS Program)”. This product is a terminal equipped with a screening test and a comprehensive cognitive function test. It is possible to perform tests according to the user’s situation. It is said that it can detect MCI early, and that early treatment can help prevent or slow its progression.
The program asks questions to users based on the “Memory Forgetfulness Simple Screening Test”, a cognitive function test, and presents the results score. The user answers questions on a touch panel according to the computer’s voice and screen. The answers are scored.
One of the features of the Memory Forgetfulness Simple Screening Test is that it can estimate the location of brain damage to a certain extent. It is carried out in hospitals and nursing facilities with the presence of specialists such as doctors, nurses, and caregivers.
The TDAS program displays the results (scores) of the user’s answers to nine categories on a touch panel, along with past results. Users can answer questions about their cognitive function, compare their results with their past results, and check changes in their scores.
