COGNICITI is an initiative of Baycrest Medical Centre in Toronto, a leading North American hospital in the treatment of and research in dementia. Health care in general is concerned with aging, the growing number of seniors and the rising costs of dementia. Often, people wait too long before they are diagnosed. The instrument, Cogniciti, is the result of clinical research and has been reviewed by around 4,000 professionals around the world. It is clinically validated and has been used by over 40,000 people so far.

Essentially, Cogniciti is a test, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes, taken confidentially, on line. It tests memory, problem solving and other factors that measure your cognitive health. It rates you in terms of others your age and education and can act as an early warning assessment. It can be taken on a fairly regular basis, once your base score has been established.”
