Method and system for obtaining measurement of cognitive performance

Abstract

A method and system for obtaining a measurement of cognitive performance in an individual, provide for obtaining a measure of at least one of the following activity parameters for the individual: 1) spatial memory accuracy; 2) planning accuracy; 3) ability to carry out dual-task interactions while navigating to a goal, wherein omission of the dual-task interactions is measured; 4) perseverations of incorrect dual-task interactions while navigating to a goal; 5) total time required by the individual to complete a navigation route; 6) upper extremity neuro-motor parameters; 7) reaction time of dual-task interactions; and 8) reaction time of the idle state of the individual; receiving the measures obtained into an algorithm; and computing a functional impairment score for the individual on the basis of baseline measurements obtained from a population of healthy individuals. The measurements are obtained using an app on an electronic portable device. The system and method may include an application executable by a user device to generate a gamified environment, to receive a first user input or set of user inputs at a first time and to transform said first user input or set of user inputs into a first measurement or set of measurements, and to receive a second user input or set of user inputs at a second time and to transform said second user input or set of user inputs into a second measurement or set of measurements; configured to receive said first measurement or set of measurements and compute a first functional impairment score and to receive said second measurement or set of measurements and compute a second functional impairment score; and configured to compare said second functional impairment score with said first functional impairment score and determine a magnitude and/or a speed of change in said functional impairment scores.
