For Individuals and Caregivers
Brain health
Many treatable conditions such as sleep disorders, mood problems, heavy metal accumulation, as well as lack of movement and social interactions can affect memory and thinking. Longitudinal monitoring of brain health can help you assess if an underlying condition is causing cognitive decline and guide timely therapeutic interventions. Print out your brain health report and take it to your doctor.
Children development
Compare your child development to norms. Use validated surveys to assess your child’s language, speech, and other developmental milestones. Watch his or her score improve over time. Print out the report and take it to your pediatrician.
For Researchers
Longitudinal monitoring is essential for testing novel interventions designed to reduce or reverse cognitive aging. BOCA is an invaluable tool for long-term cognitive monitoring. BOCA is an online instrument which evaluates global cognition through the completion of tasks spanning eight domains commonly included on other familiar screening instruments of global cognition (e.g., wordlist learning and delayed recall, repeating numerical sequences forward and backward, executive functioning, mental arithmetic, visuospatial reasoning, language and orientation). The BOCA uses randomly generated, non-repeating stimuli when assessing each domain, thereby enhancing its utility for serial frequent assessment and long-term monitoring of cognitive status.
BOCA has the unique advantages of being automatically scored and utilizing random and non-repeating stimuli to reduce the risks of practice effects, which may be especially beneficial for patients or research projects where cognitive tracking is required. BOCA is currently utilized in multiple clinical trials studying the effect of cognitive interventions, pharmaceutical treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, COVID fog, marijuana use, researching the effect of anesthesia and preoperative treatment, long-term effect of cancer drugs, and more. Join your colleagues and integrate BOCA into your clinical trial.

Many treatable conditions such as sleep disorders, mood problems, heavy metal accumulation, as well as lack of movement and social interactions can affect memory and thinking. Standard cognitive assessments are not suited for frequent cognitive evaluations. First, they ubiquitously rely on trained professionals, which is resource consuming. Second, the number of variations of standard tests is often limited resulting in strong practice effects. BOCA, on the other hand, can be performed at home as often as every week without noticeable practice effects. Longitudinal monitoring of cognitive health can help clinicians assess if an underlying condition is causing cognitive decline and guide timely therapeutic interventions. Sign up for the BOCA regular testing and improve patients’ care while saving your time.
Boston Cognitive Assessment (BoCA)
Test your global cognition
The Boston Cognitive Assessment (BoCA) is a self-administered computerized test intended for longitudinal cognitive monitoring. BoCA uses random never repeating tasks to minimize learning effects. BoCA was developed to evaluate the effects of treatment in longitudinal clinical trials and available gratis to individuals and professionals.
Attention to Details
Test your attention
Test your ability to quickly see identical images. Challenge levels vary from easy to very challenging. Compare your performance and reaction time to others at each challenge level.
Memory Rings
Test your memory
Test your ability to remember the location of moving rings. Challenge levels vary from easy to very challenging. Compare your performance and solution time to others at each difficulty level.
Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL)
Assess the competence of participants with Alzheimer’s Disease
ADCS-ADL assesses the competence of participants with Alzheimer’s Disease in basic and instrumental activities of daily living. ADCS-ADL is usually completed by a caregiver. All responses relate to the 4 weeks prior to the time of rating. The maximum total score is 78. Higher score indicates better level of competence.

Language Comprehension Checklist for Children
Compare your 2- to 8-year-old child language comprehension to norms
A child's intellectual development is best assessed by his/her language comprehension (not by speech acquisition). The Language Coomprehension Checklist for Children uses simple questions about your child's ability to understand colors, size, verb tenses, fairy tales, and so on to follow his/her language comprehension and intellect.
