Cognitive Self-Screening and Tiered Care System

Abstract

This invention provides a cognitive self-screening and graded care system, which is a dementia screening and grading application installed on a smart mobile device. Its signal is connected to a medical computer in a dementia medical institution, which also has this dementia screening and grading application installed. The dementia screening and grading application includes: a cognitive self-screening unit, a graded care unit, a common Q / A unit, and a medical intervention / medical treatment assessment unit. The smart mobile device is a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. The values ​​obtained from the cognitive self-screening unit are signaled to the medical intervention / medical treatment assessment unit. The values ​​obtained from the graded care unit are signaled to the medical intervention / medical treatment assessment unit. The common Q / A unit is signaled to the medical intervention / medical treatment assessment unit. The medical intervention / medical treatment assessment unit receives values ​​from relevant question sets from the cognitive self-screening unit, the graded care unit, and the common Q / A unit to assess whether medical intervention / medical treatment is necessary. When using the app, the ID used by the screened individual to log in to the dementia screening and triage application from their own smart mobile device is the same as the medical record number of the dementia medical institution. Through the dementia screening and triage application, the screened individual can conduct a cognitive self-screening without having to go to the outpatient clinic of a dementia medical institution to achieve cognitive self-screening and access the triage care information provided by the dementia medical institution.
