In this case, the action performed by the user may include a predetermined gesture. For example, the gesture may include a tap, a touch and hold, a double tap, a drag, a pan, a flick, a drag and drop, etc.

[0021] The present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a system diagram including a user terminal and a server according to one embodiment.

[0023] The system according to one embodiment may include a plurality of user terminals 1000 and a server 2000 .

[0024] In one embodiment, the user terminal 1000 may transmit and receive data to and from the server 2000 via software, an application, and a web browser installed on the user terminal 1000. However, the method of connection with the server 2000 is not limited thereto. For example, the user terminal 1000 may be a terminal installed with software capable of inputting the scoring results of a neuropsychological test. In this case, a scorer may input the scoring score into the user terminal 1000, and the user terminal 1000 may transmit the scoring score to the server 2000. For another example, the user terminal 1000 may be a device for acquiring the results of a neuropsychological test. In this case, a subject may use the user terminal 1000 to answer questions in the neuropsychological test, and the user terminal 1000 may transmit the subject's response results to the server 2000.

[0025] The server 2000 can acquire response information or a rating score corresponding to the subject from the user terminal 1000 and analyze the cognitive function test results of the subject.

[0026] The network includes a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value-added network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, a satellite network, and combinations thereof, and is a comprehensive data communication network that enables smooth communication between the network components shown in FIG. 1, and may include wired Internet, wireless Internet, and mobile wireless networks. Wireless networks may include, but are not limited to, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth (Bluetooth low energy), ZigBee, Wi-Fi Direct (WFD), ultra wideband (UWB), infrared data association (IrDA), and near field communication (NFC).

[0027] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a neuropsychological testing procedure according to one embodiment.

[0028] Neuropsychological testing has been developed primarily in the fields of psychiatry, neurology, and neurosurgery to assess the presence, severity, type, and cause of structural or functional damage to the human brain, and is used for the screening, diagnosis, follow-up, treatment response evaluation, insurance eligibility evaluation, and psycho-emotional evaluation of various psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases.

[0029] As shown in the example of Figure 2, the neuropsychological test can be performed in the order of administration, scoring, and reading. First, in the administration step, the subject responds directly to the test items. Alternatively, the neuropsychological test can be administered by providing the subject with a questionnaire or by having the subject answer the test items using the user terminal 1000.

[0030] In addition, in the scoring step, the test item performance result of the test subject is acquired. For example, if the test item is "remember and speak 10 words" and the test subject speaks 5 words, the test item performance result is "5," and the scorer or server 2000 can score the test subject's score corresponding to the test item as "5 points." Next, the server 2000 performs reading based on the score.

[0031] Meanwhile, neuropsychological tests can be administered and scored by paraprofessionals according to established guidelines. However, the reading step may require the judgment of a professional with expertise in functional neuroanatomy, cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, etc., as well as experience in administering and reading neuropsychological tests. Clinical psychologists are the most common professionals, and their qualifications are administered by the Ministry of Health and Welfare through training courses and examinations.

[0032] However, if direct readings by clinical psychologists were to be performed for every neuropsychological test, it may not be possible to meet the rapidly increasing demand for tests. In particular, with the rapid aging of the population, the number of patients with brain diseases such as dementia and stroke is rapidly increasing, and the number of clinical psychologists may be insufficient compared to the rapidly increasing demand for neuropsychological tests.

[0033] For this reason, most neuropsychological tests administered in hospitals nationwide and at dementia relief centers are administered by paraprofessionals who have undergone a short training course in administration and scoring, which can make it difficult to interpret the results properly.

[0034] For example, although there may be some variation depending on the structure and type of subtests in a neuropsychological test, the administration and scoring steps take 90 to 120 minutes, and the reading takes about 50 to 70 minutes. In other words, even for a professional clinical psychologist, the reading step takes up 40% of the total processing time for a neuropsychological test, and the shortage of clinical psychologists is a major factor in the backlog of neuropsychological testing.

[0035] Therefore, in one embodiment, a test method will be described that allows accurate interpretation of test results of a subject without a clinical psychologist directly administering the neuropsychological test.

[0036] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an evaluation table including a plurality of test categories and a plurality of test items included in the test categories according to one embodiment.

[0037] 3 illustrates an example of an assessment sheet acquired by the server 2000 for performing a neuropsychological test. According to one embodiment, the server 2000 can acquire one or more test items 120 and one or more test categories 110 including one or more test items.

[0038] In one example, the evaluation table can include an inspection category 110, a maximum score for the inspection category 111, an inspection item 120, a maximum score for the inspection item 121, and an inspection method for the inspection item 122. Fig. 3 is an example of an evaluation table for easily explaining the invention, and the inspection categories 110 and inspection items 120 can be added without any restrictions.

[0039] The test category 110 is a categorization of similar test items 120. Furthermore, the maximum score 111, 121 can represent the maximum evaluation score of each test category 110 or test item 120. The subject and the tester, or the subject and the user terminal 1000, can administer the test for each test item 120 by referring to the test method 122.

[0040] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the conversion of test item execution results into a graded score according to one embodiment.

[0041] According to one embodiment, the grader can input the results of the neuropsychological test performed by the subject using the user terminal 1000. In this case, the test items may include non-scoring items whose execution results immediately become the score, and required-scoring items whose execution results require the grader to judge and input a score based on the execution results. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, in the case of the time command ability test item, which is a required-scoring test item, the grader may judge the execution results of the subject and give 4 points, in which case the score will also be 4 points. In other words, for the required-scoring items, the execution results entered by the grader can directly become the score.

[0042] In another example, the server 2000 can convert the execution result 123 obtained for an item that does not require scoring into a scoring score 124 based on preset criteria. For example, in the example of Fig. 4, for a word list memory test item that does not require scoring, the scorer can input the number of words memorized by the test subject as two as the execution result, and the server 2000 can convert the input execution result of two into a scoring result of three points based on preset criteria. In this case, the preset criteria for converting the execution result 123 into a scoring score 124 may be, but are not necessarily limited to, determined by the server 2000 or the tester.

[0043] FIG. 5 illustrates matching test items to the cognitive ability categories they measure, according to one embodiment.

[0044] In one example, the server 2000 can match each of the one or more test items to one or more of a plurality of cognitive ability categories. The cognitive ability categories are categories that classify cognitive functions by type, such as general cognition, memory, language ability, spatiotemporal organization, perception, guidance, concentration, planning, abstraction, and inhibition. In one example, the test categories 110 and the cognitive ability categories 130 may match, mismatch, or only partially match.

[0045] In one embodiment, the server 2000 can reconstruct the test results of the subject by cognitive function by matching the test items to cognitive ability categories. In the example of Figure 5, the location orientation ability among the test items 112 may be matched to memory ability and orientation ability. In other words, it can be determined that the location orientation ability is related to memory ability and orientation ability among the cognitive abilities.

[0046] In one example, each test item may be matched to multiple cognitive ability categories. That is, in the example of FIG. 6, the test item for time orientation may be matched only to orientation, while the test item for place orientation may be matched to memory and orientation as well. This allows for accurate assessment of cognitive ability categories by reflecting the test results for each item in a composite manner, rather than providing test results corresponding to simple test items.

[0047] In one embodiment, the server 2000 can calculate assessment scores for each of the plurality of cognitive ability categories based on the scores of the one or more test items matched to each of the plurality of cognitive ability categories matched to one or more cognitive ability categories.

[0048] In one example, the server 2000 may calculate an evaluation score by summing up all the scores of one or more test items matched to a cognitive ability category. For example, referring to Figures 4 and 5, the evaluation score for language ability in the cognitive ability category 130 may be 3 points, and the evaluation score for orientation may be 9 points (4 points for orientation to time + 5 points for orientation to place).

[0049] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example in which weights for each test category are reflected in the evaluation score according to an embodiment.

[0050] In one example, the server 2000 can acquire the weighted values ​​of the test categories for each cognitive ability category, and calculate the assessment score for each cognitive ability category by summing up the weighted values ​​reflected in the scores of the test items based on the weighted values ​​of the test categories to which the test items belong. In other words, the server 2000 can reflect the importance of each test category in the cognitive ability category using the weighted values.

[0051] More specifically, as shown in the example of FIG. 6 , the server 2000 can obtain weights for the test categories 110 for each cognitive ability category 130. In the example of FIG. 6 , the test categories 110 corresponding to memory among the cognitive ability categories 130 are the Brief Mental Status Test, the Word List Memory Test, the Word List Recall Test, and the Word List Recognition Test, and the weights for each category can be 1, 3, 1, and 1. In one example, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 together, the total score for the Brief Mental Status Test corresponding to the memory category is 10 points (5 + 3 + 0 + 2), the total score for the Word List Memory Test is 21 points (5 + 7 + 9), the total score for the Word List Recall Test is 9 points (4 + 5), and the total score for the Word List Recognition Test is 18 points (9 + 9). In this case, the server 2000 can calculate a memory score reflecting the weights as 100 points (10 × 1 + 21 × 3 + 9 × 1 + 18 × 1).

[0052] Next, the server 2000 can determine the level of cognitive impairment based on the scoring scores for each cognitive ability category and generate a readout corresponding to the level of cognitive impairment. More specifically, the server 2000 can classify the level of cognitive impairment into three stages: normal, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia based on the assessment scores. The server 2000 can also generate a readout for a sentence. In particular, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the server 2000 can generate a readout for a cognitive ability test based only on the scoring scores for each cognitive ability category.

[0053] In another embodiment, the server 2000 may acquire one or more pieces of disease information based on the assessment scores for each cognitive ability category, and generate disease information based on the one or more pieces of disease information. In one example, the disease information may classify presumed causes of cognitive impairment into Alzheimer's disease and ductal disease, frontotemporal dementia, semantic dementia, progressive non-fluent aphasia, depression, etc. Using the matched disease information, the server 2000 may generate a sentence-based readout.

[0054] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating generating read statements based on priority, according to one embodiment.

[0055] According to one embodiment, the server 2000 can generate readout statements based on the priority of the test items. In one example, when a subject responds to a test item, conflicting responses may occur. Conflicting responses may include inconsistent or irrational responses to the test items. The server 2000 can determine conflicting responses according to preset criteria. In this case, conflicting responses are likely to be noise, and the server 2000 can correct the performance score to reflect this. In other words, generating readout statements based on the priority of the test items can prevent noise from being mixed into the test results.

[0056] In a specific example, the server 2000 can prioritize test categories for each cognitive ability category. FIG. 7 illustrates an example of priorities between test categories 110 for memory, one of the cognitive ability categories. Here, the smaller the number in the priority order 141, the higher the priority category. According to the example in FIG. 7, for memory, the word list recall test may have a higher priority than the brief mental status test. That is, even if the score on the brief mental status test is low, if the score on the word list recall test is high, the score on the word list recall test can be ignored. Therefore, the server 2000 can generate a readout 142 for memory based on the priority order 141, such as, "The subject showed a decline in recalling three words in the brief mental status test, but showed a normal level of performance in the word list recall test, which registers and recalls ten words, and therefore the subject's delayed memory ability is judged to be at a normal level."

[0057] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the steps of a neuropsychiatric examination method according to one embodiment.

[0058] First, the server 2000 acquires one or more test items and one or more test categories including the one or more test items (1010).

[0059] Furthermore, the server 2000 acquires the results of performing one or more test items for each subject (1020).

[0060] Furthermore, the server 2000 converts the execution results into a rating score for each of the one or more test items (1030).

[0061] Each of the one or more test items is matched (1040) to one or more of a plurality of cognitive ability categories.

[0062] A plurality of assessment scores for each of the cognitive ability categories are calculated 1050 based on the scores of one or more test items matched to each of the plurality of cognitive ability categories.

[0063] FIG. 11 is a block diagram of a server according to one embodiment.
