Cognitive impairment is increasing in older adults, but access to screening is not


Roughly 10% to 15% people with mild cognitive impairment are later diagnosed with dementia.

Primary care physicians know the importance of early diagnosis, yet many feel unprepared to properly diagnose and care for patients suffering from dementia.

It's not rocket science, but it is brain science. Neurotrack invests in and leverages the latest neuroscience research to deliver convenient, digital solutions to help doctors and health care providers screen faster, intervene earlier, and create better outcomes for patients.

Protein and Amino Acid Maintenance


Nutrients

There is an abundant amount of proteins and amino acids in our regular diet, and regular consumption is linked to a number of disease-related risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. This review by Neurotrack’s scientific team covers the preventative roles regular proteins and amino acids play, as well as makes recommendations on proper intake to decrease risk of cognitive decline.

Scoring Algorithm Validation


Telemedicine and e-Health

This paper validates the use of Neurotrack’s proprietary algorithm for scoring eye tracking data. Study participants completed the Neurotrack 5-minute eye tracking test on 3 separate occasions while being simultaneously recorded by a webcam and a research-grade eye tracking camera. The data was equivalent across camera types and scoring modalities.
