Screening for Cognitive Function with BrainCheck® Toolkit
Public Domain Cognitive Screening Tools
The BrainCheck platform includes digital versions of many commonly used screeners for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. These include the St. Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) exam and the Short IQCODE.
Additional Cognitive Screening Tools
Additional cognitive screening tools included with the BrainCheck platform include digital versions of the clock-drawing test, a cognitive decline questionnaire, and a range of screening tools for detecting traumatic brain injury.
Included Tools for Behavioral Health
Depression and Anxiety Screeners
Depression and anxiety can often be symptoms of cognitive impairment — and vice versa. The BrainCheck platform includes digital versions of the PHQ-9, Geriatric Depression Scale, and GAD-7 questionnaires.
Stress and PTSD
Stress can also contribute to cognitive impairment. The BrainCheck platform includes the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire, as well as PCL-5 post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) checklist.
Addressing Other Common Cognitive Concerns
ADHD Symptom Screener
The BrainCheck platform includes an 18-question survey, with questions predictive of symptoms consistent with ADHD and follow-up questions to provide further context for those symptoms.
Opioid Abuse Screener
Our platform also includes a brief, self-reported screening tool for assessing the risk of abuse of opioids prescribed to patients for treatment of chronic pain.
