JMIR Formative Research (2025): Mindmore in Surgical Settings – A Feasibility Study
Publication date: January 2025
Digital cognitive testing demonstrates adequate feasibility in patients undergoing abdominal surgery
Amirpour et al. (2025) have published a study in JMIR Formative Research evaluating the feasibility of Mindmore's digital, self-administered cognitive test battery in older adults undergoing abdominal surgery.
The study demonstrates that Mindmore is a viable tool for supporting pre- and postoperative cognitive assessment, and that the platform is well accepted by both patients and healthcare professionals..

Publication date: January 2025
New study confirms Mindmore's psychometric stability and sensitivity to change
Bergman, Franke Föyen, Gustavsson & Van den Hurk (2025) have published a comprehensive study in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology examining test–retest reliability, practice effects, and responsiveness to change within Mindmore's test battery.
The results demonstrate that Mindmore exhibits good reliability and appropriate practice effects, further supporting its use in both clinical monitoring and research contexts.

Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology (2025): Remote Testing – Convergent Validity
Publication date: 2025
Remote neuropsychological testing with Mindmore demonstrates high convergent validity
A study by Wärn, Andersson & Berginström (2025), published in Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, reports that remote assessment using Mindmore shows strong concordance with traditional in-person evaluation methods.
These findings provide further empirical support for digital testing as a clinically equivalent alternative for cognitive assessment.

Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics (2025): Long-Term Effects of CBT
Publication date: 2025
Mindmore used to assess long-term cognitive outcomes of treatment in stress-related diagnoses
A publication by Franke Föyen et al. (2025) investigates the long-term effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on sick leave and cognitive functioning. Mindmore was employed as an objective measure of cognitive change over time.
The results suggest that CBT not only reduces symptom burden but may also exert positive effects on cognitive functioning.

BMC Geriatrics (2024): Comparison of Analog and Digital Cognitive Tests
Publication date: January 2024
New study demonstrates that digital cognitive tests are comparable to traditional analog tests
A new study published in BMC Geriatrics (Amirpour et al., 2024) compares Mindmore's digital neurocognitive test battery with the analog ISPOCD battery in older adults. The findings indicate that digital testing offers a reliable and valid alternative to traditional paper-and-pencil assessment.
The study also examines participants' subjective experiences of digital testing, with many highlighting ease of use and clarity of instructions as key advantages.

BMJ Open (2024): Study Protocol – Remote Neuropsychological Assessment
Publication date: April 2024
Mindmore featured in study protocol on remote neuropsychological testing in neurological conditions
A protocol article published in BMJ Open (Berginström & Andersson, 2024) outlines an upcoming validation study comparing remote neuropsychological testing with conventional in-person clinical assessment. Mindmore's platform is employed as the digital testing solution.
The study is expected to generate important evidence on how remote assessment can improve accessibility for patients with neurological disorders.

Publication date: April 2024
Mindmore presents primary care feasibility data at Alzheimer's Disease International 2024
At ADI 2024, Van den Hurk et al. presented a poster examining the feasibility of implementing Mindmore in primary care settings. The findings indicate that digital cognitive screening can be effectively integrated into primary care workflows, facilitating earlier detection of cognitive decline.

Updated Norms – Mindmore Norms 2.0 (2024)
Datum för publicering: 2024
Mindmore launches Norms 2.0 – updated and refined Swedish normative data
Mindmore is releasing Mindmore Norms 2.0, a comprehensive update of the normative data underpinning all cognitive tests in the platform. The update incorporates new datasets, refined statistical models, and a restructured format providing norms at the individual test level.
The norms are documented in:
-
Mindmore (2024a). Mindmore Norms 2.0 https://helpcenter.mindmore.se/normer2.0
-
Mindmore (2024b). Norms per cognitive test https://helpcenter.mindmore.se/normer-per-kognitivt-test
These updates enhance both clinical precision and the capacity for longitudinal comparison of results over time.
BMC Psychiatry (2023): Stress-Related Disorders and Digital Remote Testing
Publication date: October 2023
Digital remote testing identifies objective cognitive impairments in stress-related disorders
A study published in BMC Psychiatry (Franke Föyen et al., 2023) demonstrates that patients with stress-related diagnoses exhibit measurable cognitive deficits as assessed through Mindmore's remotely administered digital test battery.
The study advances the understanding of cognitive functioning in stress-related illness and shows that remote digital solutions can enable scalable and reliable data collection in clinical populations.

Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society (2022): Swedish NormativeData
Publication date: 2022
Mindmore publishes comprehensive Swedish normative data for digital cognitive assessment
Van den Hurk et al. (2022) have published the most extensive normative dataset for a digital cognitive test battery in Sweden, in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society (JINS). The norms are derived from a large national sample and constitute the foundation of Mindmore's clinical reporting.
This work has been pivotal to Mindmore's clinical precision and its implementation across both primary and specialist care settings.

Frontiers in Psychology (2019): Comparison of Digital and Traditional Cognitive Tests
Publication date: 2019
Early evidence for digital cognitive assessment – the Minnemera study
A study published in Frontiers in Psychology (Björngrim et al., 2019) compared established neuropsychological tests with an early digital predecessor to Mindmore: the Minnemera application.
The findings indicated that digitization of cognitive tests is feasible and can yield results comparable to traditional assessment methods – representing a foundational step in the development of the current Mindmore platform.
