Developing a digital solution for timely dementia diagnosis
The BrainTrack app developed by Dementia Australia enables users to self-monitor cognition and share results with their General Practitioner.
The study will measure how well the BrainTrack app games compare to gold standard cognitive tests, activities of daily living and will compare scores to dementia risk factors.
This research will aid BrainTrack users and General Practitioners to best interpret the app results.
