Unlike existing paper and pencil based Alzheimer’s tests, the ALZselftest is a breakthrough early warning assessment which:
- Screens all six cognitive domains (a critical step for accurately assessing cognitive health)
- Is available online, directly to the public
- May be self-administered (help may be provided for those lacking computer skills)
- Utilizes objective, computer-based scoring
- Demonstrates over 98% accuracy rates in ongoing clinical trial
In 2002, Dr. John H. Dougherty Jr., a leading neurologist, developed the Self Test, a paper test designed to identify cognitive impairment at the earliest possible stages. This test continues to be widely used in physicians’ offices. Due to the alarming rate of AD sufferers going undiagnosed, Dr. Dougherty has now taken a very unconventional step by adapting his existing test for computer use, and making it available directly to the public. The ALZselftest evolved from that paper test, and has been designed as a user-friendly, low cost test, bringing the clinic into your home with the click of a button.
Studies have shown the quick, easy ALZselftest to be a reliable, accurate tool that can aid in the early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and other types of cognitive impairment. Regular testing will help you track changes in your cognitive functions over time.
Is it our hope that, by making the ALZselftest easily accessible through the Internet, we can begin to reduce the number of people who fall through the diagnostic cracks until it is too late for effective treatment.
Ongoing studies of the online version of the test show it to be 98 percent accurate in identifying cognitive impairment. The ALZselftest monitors multiple cognitive domains, helping to identify different types and degrees of mental impairment.
Early detection is your most powerful weapon in the fight against dementia. The ALZselftest can be your first step in that fight. It’s quick, easy, affordable and accurate. Click here to get started.
