DriveABLE Assessment Centres Inc.

$156,000.00

Mobile CARE Application Project

FY 2018-19 · 2018-04-01

Summary
DriveABLE is adapting its cognition assessment technologies into a simple, accessible, and most importantly mobile-friendly pre-screening cognitive evaluation tool. In conjunction with the neuroscience and machine learning departments of the University of Alberta, DriveABLE has been working to validate its scoring platform for use in a mobile application (called CARE App). DriveABLE must also develop an adaptive IT and back-end platform. It will manage data that will be processed through machine learning algorithms that continuously validate and improve the accuracy of the mobile cognition evaluations. The mobile platform is expected to be commercialized once the data and machine learning infrastructure is established.

Description (French)
DriveABLE adapte ses technologies d'évaluation de cognition technologies dans un outil d’évaluation cognitive simple, accessible et, plus important encore, la présélection adaptée aux appareils mobiles. En collaboration avec les ministères de neuroscience et l’apprentissage machine de l’Université de l’Alberta, DriveABLE a travaillé pour valider sa plate-forme de pointage pour utilisation dans une application mobile de soins (CARE App). DriveABLE doit également developper une plate-forme TI et une application dorsale. Celles-ci gereront les données, qui seront traitées par des algorithmes d’apprentissage machine, qui valident et améliorent continuellement l'exactitude des évaluations de la cognition mobile. La plate-forme mobile devrait être commercialisée une fois que les données et l'infrastructure d’apprentissage machine sont établis.
