Abstract

An early, extensive, accurate, and cost-effective clinical diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders will have advantages for older people and their families, but also for the health and care systems sustainability and performance. BRAINCODE is a technology that assesses cognitive impairment in older people, differentiating normal from pathologic brain condition, based in an EEG biomarkers evaluation. This paper will address BRAINCODE’s pilot design, which intends to validate its efficacy, to provide guidelines for future studies and to allow its integration on the SHAPES platform. It is expected that BRAINCODE confirms a regular clinical diagnosis and neuropsychologic tests to discriminate ‘normal’ from pathologic cognitive decline and differentiates mild cognitive impairment from dementia in older adults with/without subjective cognitive complains.
