About
BrainCheck is an integrated digital platform designed for cognitive care, trusted by leading institutions such as Cleveland Clinic, Stanford University, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and UPMC. At its core is BrainCheck Assess™, an FDA-registered Class II medical device that delivers a 15-minute cognitive assessment across 5 cognitive domains, detecting subtle signs of impairment associated with dementias including Alzheimer's disease. Published peer-reviewed research demonstrates that BrainCheck Assess scores correlate highly with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), with high sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing between normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia. Beyond its flagship assessment, the platform includes more than 30 validated clinical evaluation tools — screeners, assessments, and surveys — giving neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, and primary care providers a comprehensive toolkit for cognitive evaluation. BrainCheck integrates with EHR systems such as Athena, streamlining documentation and enabling scalable deployment across care settings. Its Care Planning module helps clinicians develop individualized treatment plans, while robust security and compliance features make it suitable for regulated healthcare environments. BrainCheck is built to close the cognitive care gap by making standardized neurocognitive testing accessible, efficient, and objective — replacing time-consuming paper-based methods with a faster, more accurate digital workflow.
