Validation of the SPARK Scan Cognitive Status Indicator Software Concordance With Clinical Diagnosis in Humans With Unimpaired, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Status, With and Without Alzheimer's Disease
Validation of the SPARK Scan Cognitive Status Indicator Software Concordance With Clinical Diagnosis in Humans With Unimpaired, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Status, With and Without Alzheimer's Disease
The SPARK Cognitive Status Indicator software uses an algorithm to assess a resting state EEG recording as being consistent with a cognitive status of unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI; MCI AD- or MCI AD+), or dementia (dementia AD-, or dementia AD+). This study will compare SPARK Cognitive Status Indicator output to Adjudication Committee panel-based diagnosis of cognitive status and Alzheimer's disease.
Up to 600 subjects (and informants) may be enrolled and have a brain scan, cognitive, and blood assessments collected:
Visit 1-Screening:
-Salzburg (SDTP)- remote via telephone or video visit
Visit 2/3-Evaluations:
The output of the investigational software used in the analysis to determine a identification of cognitive and Alzheimer's status based the data from the EEG scan shall be compared to the identification of cognitive and Alzheimer's status from a group of dementia specialists forming an Adjudication Committee which shall review all data (except for investigational device output).
