Development and Validation of a Cognitive Evaluation tool for Multilingual Populations: The Visual Cognitive Assessment Test (VCAT)

With increasing research into novel disease modifying therapies for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia, there is a need for large scale early detection of cognitive disorders. However, existing cognitive evaluation tools largely cater for native English speakers. We designed and validated a novel visual based cognitive evaluation tool that could be applied to multilingual populations worldwide without the need for translation.
