An Assessment Tool to Detect Unique Characteristics of Cognitive Deficiency

Abstract

This grant prepares DANA (Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment), the next-generation neurocognitive assessment tool (NCAT), for transition into operational military use. DANA is a clinical decision support tool developed for and funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) for use in field and clinical settings. The project proposed here seeks to 1) analyze our existing data that was collected during prior efforts, in order to discover unique characteristics of psychological impairment and cognitive deficiency that results from either physical trauma, emotional distress or a combination of both factors, which we call DANA Cognitive Deficiency Signature Assessment Tool (DANA CODE SAT), 2) update technical features, and 3) transition DANA to military acquisition customers and programs.
