Queen Square Screening Test For Cognitive Deficits

The Queen Square Cognitive Assessment (known colloquially as 'The Green Book') was developed at the UCL Institute of Neurology and is used by neurologists across the UK as a short 'bedside' method of testing memory and cognition. It allows a relatively quick qualitative assessment of the different cognitive domains and therefore helps in diagnosing cognitive impairment, and particularly helps in the differential diagnosis of dementia. Currently only available in a small book form, developing this assessment into a simple-to-use app with added capacity for response analysis, including response times and speech recognition, as well as summary data with explanations of the results, would increase its availability and ease of use not only for secondary care physicians but also general practitioners across the UK. The assessment contains tests for different cognitive domains that will require different types of interactive element. The sections will therefore be split between two student teams.
