AT HOME MEMORY TESTING
With the incidence of Alzheimer's set to triple over the
next 40 years, baby boomers want to know if they are at
risk, and Baycrest scientists have found an innovative way
to help them find out.
A consumer-focused computer application – the first of its kind
to be scientifically-validated – allows users to test their own
cognitive abilities. Currently being pilot-tested, the application
will be unveiled to the public later this year by Baycrest
spin-out company, Cogniciti.
Ranked among the "top radical ideas to kick-start the economy"
by Canadian Business magazine, the online tool helps answer
that pressing question: "Are my memory and cognitive changes
a normal part of aging, or should I see my doctor?"
