Methods and systems of screening and monitoring alzheimer's disease using the king-devick test

A method of screening and monitoring a person for Alzheimer's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Lewy Body Dementia (Dementia) using the King-Devick Test, the method being implemented on a computer system having one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions which, when executed, perform the method, further comprising:

• providing a visual display and a timing device;
• displaying on the visual display one or more series of symbols arranged in a pattern;
• providing an indication to the person being screened to begin reading aloud the symbols arranged in the pattern;
• capturing with the timing device the completion time to read the one or more series of symbols arranged in the pattern;
• comparing the completion time with a baseline time to complete reading the one or more series of symbols;
• and
• determining whether the person has an “abnormal” result based on comparing the completion time with the baseline time.
