About

Feasibility study testing a prospective observational methodology to assess the feasibility of serial remote monitoring of cognition with CogTrack™, an online cognitive assessment tool.

Full description

A feasibility study testing a prospective observational methodology at two secondary care sites (Derriford Hospital, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust and Torbay Hospital, Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust) and open to interested primary care practices (who refer patients to secondary care).

Serial cognitive testing will be performed using CogTrack™, a validated online cognitive assessment tool, over approximately an 11-week period. CogTrack™ requires two practice sessions to familiarise participants13, so the baseline CogTrack™ score will be that which is performed on the third occasion. Surgical patients will be tested both pre- and post-operatively. Non-surgical patients will have the assessments done at times to mirror those in the surgical group.

Target is to recruit 150 participants in the surgery group and 50 control patients from primary care.

The demographics and other data will be directly entered onto a secure electronic eCRF by a member of the research team. Only networked trust computers will be used and data entered onto a password protected database held on a shared network drive.
