US 2026/0240486 A1 · CORE COGNITIVE FUNCTION ASSESSMENT

Abstract

Methods and systems for assessing cognitive function using tracked electrical activity of the brain of the individuals in response to a specific sequence of stimuli in generating data sets, that one or more cognitive functions of a patient can be assessed based on EEG responses obtained during a cognitive health assessment procedure that includes one or more tests. Such cognitive tests and associated functions include: awake and drowsy, auditory evoked potentials, visual evoked potentials, attention and concentration and information processing, and memory. The cognitive functions assessments can be based on at least one ERP response type, including any of: N100, P200 and P300 responses or any combination thereof, and comparison to demographic values. Each of the cognitive functions can be scored and compared to repeated assessments over time.

Dependent claims

A method for assessing cognitive health of a patient, the method comprising:

performing a neurocognitive testing procedure that includes conducting one or more cognitive tests for assessing one or more cognitive functions, the procedure comprising:
obtaining electroencephalogram (EEG) data from a brain of the patient from one or more EEG sensors during the one or more cognitive tests of the procedure in which one or more stimulus are output to the patient;
determining, with the system, one or more event-related potentials (ERPs) from the EEG data in real-time during the procedure;
and
analyzing the ERPs in real-time and outputting one or more assessments associated with the one or more cognitive functions.

2 more elements

A system for assessing cognitive health of a patient, the system comprising:

one or more sensing electrodes for placement on a head of the patient, the one or more electrodes configured for recording EEG data with respect to a brain of the patient;
one or more sensory output devices configured for providing sensory stimuli to the patient;
a technician computing device comprising a processor operably coupled to a memory having programmable instructions recorded thereon that are configured to:
perform a neurocognitive testing procedure that includes conducting one or more cognitive tests for assessing one or more cognitive functions, the procedure comprising:
obtaining electroencephalogram (EEG) data from a brain of the patient from one or more EEG sensors during the one or more cognitive tests of the procedure in which one or more stimulus are output to the patient;
determining, with the system, one or more event-related potentials (ERPs) from the EEG data in real-time during the procedure;
and
analyzing the ERPs in real-time and outputting one or more assessments
