Problem
Early detection of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s disease is hampered by reliance on paper‑based tests, limited clinician expertise, and inefficient workflows, making it difficult for primary care and specialty providers to identify mild cognitive decline before symptoms become severe.
Solution
Linus Health offers an AI‑enhanced digital cognitive assessment platform that modernizes traditional tests like the Clock Drawing Test. The platform delivers a suite of validated digital assessments—including DCTclock™ and Digital Clock and Recall (DCR™)—that capture over 100 process‑based metrics and verbal memory performance. AI algorithms analyze these data to generate quantitative scores, risk estimates for dementia, and actionable clinical decision support. Results are presented through an integrated web dashboard that combines assessment outcomes with patient‑reported health surveys, producing personalized care plans and facilitating referrals. The solution is delivered via iPad‑based software, enabling rapid, scalable testing in primary care offices, health‑system clinics, and research settings.
Target Audience
Primary customers are primary‑care and specialty medical practices, health‑system networks, and life‑science research organizations that need efficient, objective tools for early cognitive screening and trial enrollment.
