COVID-19 Cognitive Assessment Battery
To understand the impact of COVID-19 on cognitive function, researchers must use sensitive and reliable cognitive assessments which target appropriate domains. In this article Operational Scientist, Iona Pickett, discusses the challenges of designing a cognitive testing battery for use in those recovering from COVID-19 and describes our recommended CANTAB battery for COVID-19 studies.
Understanding the challenges of assessing cognitive function in patients recovering from COVID-19
While several initiatives have begun investigating the neuropsychological effects of COVID-19, the nature and causes of cognitive impairment found in COVID-19 survivors are not yet fully understood. In this article Operational Scientist, Iona Pickett, discusses the challenges faced by researchers assessing cognition in those recovering from COVID-19.
CANTAB Research Grant assists research into structural and functional changes in memory
We caught up with Julius Rave to talk about the impact that the primary 2021 CANTAB Research Grant prize will have on his research: Exploring structural and functional changes in memory-associated networks in patients expressing cognitive deficits after a COVID-19 infection.
Research into the cognitive impact of COVID-19 on patients with and without sleep complaints
Pim Heckman speaks to us about the impact that receiving one of the three 2021 CANTAB Research Grant prizes will have on his research into clearing COVID-19 cognitive brain fog
Cognitive assessment of COVID-19 patients following mechanical ventilation
Jamileth More recently spoke to us about the impact that receiving one of the three 2021 CANTAB Research Grant prizes will have on her research into monitoring protocol of COVID-19 patients survivors of mechanical ventilation.
Cognition and COVID-19: CANTAB Research Grant - Results
The results of the 2021 CANTAB Research Grant are in! This year's award was focussed on the connection between cognition and COVID-19.
Cognition and COVID-19 – What we know
Nearly a year on from the first outbreak of COVID-19, we still have a lot to learn about how the virus works and affects our health. In this article Operational Scientist, Iona Pickett, explores our current understanding of the neuropsychological consequences of COVID-19, in particular the impact on cognitive function.
Validating digital assessments for real-world testing
The power of remote assessments is the flexibility in when and where they can be administered. However, with this increased flexibility comes a responsibility to collect data at a frequency that is meaningful but not burdensome for the patient. This article will cover how to navigate this tricky process and strike the balance.
New virtual study to measure stress recovery in frontline health workers caring for COVID-19 patient
Cambridge Cognition is pleased to announce a collaboration with 4YouandMe and The Center for International Emergency Medical Services to investigate the utility of wearables and mobile phones for measuring stress recovery in frontline health workers caring for COVID-19 positive patients.
