About

People with traumatic brain injury and related conditions often suffer from under-recognized or mis-treated mental dysfunction, undermining their recovery. The MindFind test battery can track changes in mental functioning based on inter-disciplinary innovations, including ideas and methods from the fields of neuroscience, psychology, human-computer interaction, product design, and software-as-a-service ventures. MindFind features dynamic visuotactile measures that are more valid and useful than state-of-the-art comparables adapted from desktop or pen-and-paper tests. By analogy, comparable tablet tests are akin to old static websites limited to digital scans of print ads, whereas MindFind is analogous to modern websites that leverage dynamic browser capabilities. Clinicians have expressed strong interest in using MindFind reports to inform rehabilitation, referral, and return-to-activity decisions.

After finding large case-control differences (Cohen's d>2) in clinical studies, we are pursuing larger validation studies in partnership with leading clinicians and scientists at MGB and UNM.
