Generative AI platform for enhanced gamified cognitive testing and training

This technology is a software that integrates probabilistic modeling, adaptive testing, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) to personalize and enhance cognitive assessment and training.

Unmet Need: Scalable and adaptive tool for longitudinal cognitive testing

Current computerized cognitive testing platforms rely on static testing protocols that become familiar to users over time and therefore limit longitudinal accuracy. Additionally, current cognitive testing methods only adapt in difficulty based on simple performance metrics rather than an overall profile of the user’s cognitive abilities.

The Technology: Gamified generative AI platform for adaptive cognitive testing

This technology is a cognitive testing platform that integrates generative AI to produce an unlimited amount of personalized testing content based on the user’s cognitive profile. Using a probabilistic cognitive model, the user’s multidimensional cognitive profile is continuously inferred during testing while an adaptive trial-design engine selects or creates the next task. Through this process, the platform can be optimized for either cognitive testing (maximal diagnostic information gain) or development (optimal difficulty).

Applications:

  • Clinical assessment tool
  • Educational games
  • Research instruments
  • Consumer games
  • Data acquisition tool
  • Cognitive rehabilitation tool

Advantages:

  • Scalable
  • Adaptable
  • Rigorous psychometric grounding
  • Personalized to a user’s cognitive profile
  • Capable of longitudinal testing
