On November 2, 2022, Cambridge Brain Sciences officially became Creyos!
Cognition testing is an important part of head injury assessment that allows us to study brain injury and cognitive functions. Factors like short-term memory, reasoning, reaction time, information processing, attention and verbal ability all fall into this brain-functions category and are important for overall quality of life. With Creyos Health, an advanced diagnostic tool from Creyos, we can offer patients technologically advanced testing of these cognitive functions.
Our Creyos Health screenings assess cognitive function and can be used for baseline evaluations, offering a reference point into “normal” behavior. Athletic trainers, therapists or medical providers use information from these tests to help determine treatment, make return-to-play decisions for athletes and track overall patient recovery. If no baseline exists, testing results can be compared to a secure, vast database of non-concussed individuals to see if “deficiencies” in normal day-to-day mental functions are present following traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Highlights of this scientifically validated online platform for cognitive assessment include:
- More than 10 million tasks completed globally
- Backed by 25+ years of scientific research
- More than 300 peer-reviewed studies
- Fast insights into your brain health
- Self-guided tasks are unintimidating for users
How Does Creyos Health Work?
Creyos Health is a leading online platform for cognitive assessment. The test provides us with insightful and accurate reporting and can be taken almost anywhere on a desktop or tablet, using common inputs like touch or a mouse. Your MAC Alliance provider can customize the test to each patient as needed, honing in on specific brain areas.
The test is simple and takes about 20 minutes. Patients complete an unintimidating online assessment with engaging cognitive tasks designed to help measure:
- Concentration
- Reasoning
- Memory
- Verbal abilities
- Planning
We then compare your results to a large and growing database of individuals your own age to determine recovery after a brain injury, which makes the judgment of “normal” even more scientifically sound and reliable. We can monitor your health to make sure treatment plans are working and discover change in cognition and/or track trends over time.
Virtual Testing
Computerized neurocognitive testing, like Creyos Health testing, provide neurologists and other healthcare providers excellent tools to assess post-brain injury cognition. Because of the rapid increase in telemedicine availability that came in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now able to accommodate our patients remotely. They can take these concussion tests from the comfort of their homes via an email invitation. Please contact your local MAC Alliance partner for more information.
Creyos Health Is Featured on the Revolutionary New MAC-Cart
Creyos Health screenings are part of our portable, affordable new MAC Brain Health Cart. MAC-Cart is a game changer in brain health and concussion baselining testing, diagnosis and treatment. Right now, we have 10 MAC-Carts testing in the Mid-Atlantic region. While the MAC-Cart will not be widely available until March 1, 2021, we are continuing to send prototypes into the field for testing. If you are interested in a demo or more information on a MAC-Cart lease, please call 302-235-8808 or email us. You can also find more details on the MAC-Cart website.
Assessing Head Injuries
MAC Alliance employs a variety of advanced technologies for rapid scoring, increased reliability and easy accessibility and administration following head injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). We test, diagnose and treat potential brain trauma and brain health with FDA-cleared tools such as Creyos Health, ImPACT®, BrainScope®, RightEye® and Sway Balance System®. We use Brain SPECT Scan 3D metabolic brain imaging, which is accepted by the American College of Radiology.
We are a growing network of certified medical professionals and athletic trainer affiliates located throughout Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey. Find out where concussion testing, treatment and long-term care management is offered by MAC affiliates in your area.
