The Acurist Approach

Screen → Profile → Plan

Three steps that turn a brief assessment into a personalized, actionable path forward for every patient.

1

Memory Screen

A brief, subjective self-report — 94% accurate at identifying MCI. Answers the key question: is my memory normal for my age? If results indicate concern, proceed to the full MCI Screen.

2

MCI Screen

The objective clinical test — 97.3% accurate — producing the Memory Performance Index, plus a personalized risk score (0–100) quantifying modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors, adjusted for age, sex, race, and education.

3

Personalized Action Plan

Evidence-based recommendations for patients, families, and clinicians — with referral pathways, lifestyle interventions, and 6-month monitoring built in.

The Science

The only tool that reliably detects MCI — not just dementia

Most cognitive screening tools — including the MMSE used by 9 out of 10 physicians — were designed to detect dementia. By then, it’s often too late for effective intervention. The MCI Screen was built to catch the window before dementia: mild cognitive impairment.

  • Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2005)
  • Validated across 4 independent populations in the US and Japan
  • Predicts cognitive decline 3+ years before onset of symptoms
  • Trusted by Cleveland Clinic, AstraZeneca, Mayo Clinic, and NIH
  • Medicare reimbursable — no specialist credentials required to administer
