EpxCogScreen -- A Phone-based Rapid Cognitive Screen (RCS)

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Dementia, Telemedicine, Cognitive Dysfunction

In brief

EpxCogScreen is a phone-based intervention to administer the Rapid Cognitive Screen, a validated screening tool for dementia, over SMS text messaging. The results of the screen are sent to the physician automatically, which allows physicians to monitor their patients and gives them the ability to respond rapidly to any concerns of cognitive decline. In this study, patients' at-home RCS scores done by EpxCogScreen will be compared to their in-clinic RCS scores, and to clinical diagnosis of dementia (where available), to investigate the validity of EpxCogScreen.
