CANS-MCI – The Test
Longitudinal Tracking
If a patient has previously taken the CANS-MCI, the patient’s test results are plotted over time (longitudinally) so that the earliest important changes in cognitive ability are detected and the rate of change is measured in the three cognitive domains and in the level of depression.
CANS-MCI – The Test
• The test begins with progressive practice with the touch screen to establish a level of comfort and determine a relative reaction time for speed of answer assessment.
• Mood state is then assessed with a 10 question short form of the Geriatric Depression Scale.
• The questions were chosen for their pre-clinical frequency in patients developing Alzheimer’s.
• Evaluating and treating depression can add clarity to a person’s true mental health.
