Well-known tests
Mindmore tests are well-known neuropsychological tests used in clinical and research context for decades
Wilhelm Wundt psychology laboratory, Leipzig Germany 1879.
Neuropsychologists around the world are using the tests Mindmore chose to digitise in their clinics[1]. The sensitivity of the included tests to different disorders has been studied extensively [2,3]. For example, performance on the Trail Making Test (TMT [4] part B in elderly is linked to problems with complex activities of daily living [5], while in younger people it can be an indication for or a symptom of depression [6] or chronic stress [7,8].

A popular tool in research
The tests in the Mindmore platform are included in diverse research collaborations due to its facility of use: tests are easy to administer, Mindmore offers automatic scoring and standardisation, and immediate access to the collected data. The traditional tests selected to be digitised for Mindmore have been tested and tried by researchers for decades - now these findings are being replicated and added to by the researchers of our time who chose to use Mindmore in their research.
Platform specific normative data
Mindmore offers its own normative data base populated by >1000 healthy adults. High quality normative data is essential for test interpretation [3,21,22]. Sophisticated regression-based normative models [23,24] are implemented in the Mindmore result portal [25]. Each patient is compared to their expected test score based on their age (range 18 to 90 years), sex, level of education, and input method.

Examples of normative models
Tests are carefully adapted for self-administration on a digital platform
Mindmore modernises test administration while retaining the strengths and evidence associated with the content of traditional tests [14–16]. The digital platform leads patients through the tests using original instructions and feedback. Clinicians have access to all traditional test scores such number of correct responses, manually corrected audio transcripts for the verbal fluency test [17], as well as index, interference and, congruent and incongruent round scores for the Stroop test [3,18] - plus a few more.
