-
Information is of course compiled automatically, in a smart, digital design.
-
Irrelevant areas are skipped, e.g. questions turn to different stages

MMSE-NR3
Cognitive Screening Instrument: A Clinician-Led Digital Testing
-
NR3 was developed in 2016 by Carsten Strobel and Knut Engedal and updated in 2021, more information about this can be found here.
-
In an article from 2023, standards have been developed for the paper version of NR3 and can be found here.
-
The digital version still requires the use of paper and pen for tasks 17, 19 and 20, whereby the version should be seen as a hybrid between digital and analog examination.
Please note that the digital version is not self-administered like Mindmore's other tests, but is administered by clinicians.
Cognitive testing - from examination to investigation
From measuring a global metric to all domains
With ready-made packages, a dementia nurse or occupational therapist can run the work in a standardized way from A to Z, digitally when possible - physically when necessary. The person-centered packages ensure that the assessment is at the right level for all patients, every time.

Interpretation support
Help in piecing together the puzzle
It's not always easy to piece the puzzle together even when all pieces are provided.
The automatic interpretation support assist clinical staff in seeing patterns in the responses and flagging certain data points.
You can see an example of what it might look like below.
Indication
Premise
Interpretation
Felt stressed and not rested at the time of the test occasion
Rated themselves lower than three out of five on questions about being free from stress and well-rested.
Stress and lack of sleep are factors that can negatively affect performance on cognitive tests. If the patient themselves feels that these factors may have influenced their performance, this should be considered in the interpretation.
How can digital testing be an advantage?
Automatic
Automatic correction, normalization and generation of documentation and assessment reports.
Flexible
Possibility to take all or just parts of the test remotely or in person with physical copies depending on the patients needs.
Storage
Possibility to listen and view parts of the test afterwards through video and audio recording.
Why Mindmore?
Patient-centred
Recommended in national guidelines
Mindmore tests all domains, which provides support in precision-based diagnosis and supports a person-centered approach and working method.
Mindmore's world-leading tool contains the latest within cognitive testing and has shown evidence that the digital way of working supports employees in everyday clinical practice.
Save up to 70% of time
The need for cognitive assessment has never been greater with the increasing number of older people. Clinicians can save up to 70% of the time it takes to perform a cognitive assessment with Mindmore's resource and time-efficient approach.
"Mindmore goes further than the dementia tests we usually use. It means that even younger patients, who have just started to experience memory impairment, get help earlier. Being able to see exactly which cognitive functions are failing helps the patient understand their own abilities."
- Annica, occupational therapist, Eira Health Center
The care process aims to achieve:
-
More people undergoing basal examination
-
Earlier investigations
-
Shortening investigation time
-
Providing conditions for equal care
With Mindmore as a tool, you will receive the necessary support in achieving this.
