Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Human Factors Assessment

Abstract

The purpose of this human factors assessment is to identify the human use issues associated with using the Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM). This report is one, in a series of three reports, examining the human factors issues associated with technologies being investigated for their potential to assist with identifying individuals who may have incurred a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The Automated ANAM is widely used pre and post deployment in an effort to both establish a neurocognitive baseline and to evaluate returning military service members for signs and symptoms of TBI. The ANAM is comprised of approximately 30 modifiable, automated, and largely self-administered test components used to assess memory, attention, concentration, learning, information processing, problem solving, general intellectual skills, sleepiness and mood. Respondents use a PC with a normal keyboard and mouse to input exam answers.
