5-Cog Battery for Detecting Cognitive Impairment and Dementia

The 5-Cog is a 5 minute cognitive screen which will identify patients with 'cognitive impairment' from those with 'no cognitive impairment'.

The health literacy and grip assessment will take approximately 5 minutes, and will test the patient's comprehension and pronunciation of health-related terms as well as strength in their dominant hand. The screen will sort out patients with 'low health literacy' and 'frail (low grip strength)' from those with normal health literacy and normal grip strength.
