Why do a memory check with neotivCare?
neotivCare gives you an early indication of whether your memory problems are a normal symptom of old age. The app reliably detects clinically concerning memory problems.
Conventional clinical memory tests are usually not suitable for resolving concerns about memory performance early on. Simple tests for detecting mild cognitive impairment are the so-called paper and pencil tests. These tests are not accurate enough in the early stages of the disease. In addition, demanding test settings in practice can influence the validity of the test results.
Other, more sensitive test procedures are often too complicated and time-consuming to be carried out in a family practice. They are therefore mainly used in specialized memory outpatient clinics. The digital application neotivCare avoids the disadvantages of these standard test procedures. With neotivCare, you get a clear picture of your memory performance at an early stage.
