Eisai Co., Ltd (Tokyo) today announced the launch of “NouKNOW”, a digital tool for self-assessment of brain health based upon technology created by Cogstate. The Japanese product launch will occur on 31 March 2020 and will initially target municipalities providing health services to local residents and corporations providing health checks for employees.
“NouKNOW” is conducted through a simple card test using a PC or tablet device to quantitatively measure brain performance in four tests evaluating psychomotor function, attention, learning and memory, and working memory. Users can self-assess independently and in a short time frame (approx.15 minutes), enabling regular assessments in instances such as daily life and health checkups. On the results screen, a score (brain performance index (BPI)) – as a measurement of quantified brain performance aspects such as memorization, cognition, and decision – appears along with lifestyle advice for maintaining brain performance.
