Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy: Linus Health Digital Clock and Recall Test Detects Early Cognitive Impairment in Over 80% of Patients Who Were Misclassified in Commonly Used Paper-Based Test

A proprietary cognitive assessment from Linus Health, a digital health company focused on enabling early detection of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, outperforms the most commonly used paper-based assessment in detecting early mild cognitive impairment and dementia and with less ethnic and racial bias, according to a peer-reviewed study recently published in the prestigious medical journal Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy.

The article, “Digital Clock and Recall is superior to the Mini‑Mental State Examination (MMSE) for the detection of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia,” is the latest addition to more than 20 other studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals validating the Linus Health Digital Clock and Recall (DCR™) assessment within its Core Cognitive Evaluation (CCE™) solution. The body of research confirms the most recent findings that the DCR outperforms a commonly used traditional cognitive test, the MMSE, in detecting early signs of cognitive impairment, and is more accurate overall in classifying mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia.
