Health Systems Digital Cognitive Assessments | Linus Health

Preparing for expanding patient needs

The treatment landscape for Alzheimer’s and other dementias is changing rapidly, and early detection of cognitive impairment is essential to improving outcomes through early intervention. However, standardized cognitive testing and care paths — starting in primary care — are not the norm across health systems today.

Linus Health is helping change that, equipping health systems with new tools to meet rising cognitive care needs in the face of a worsening specialist shortage. Our digital cognitive assessment platform makes it both possible and practical for providers to spot and act on early signs of cognitive impairment.

Seamless integration, streamlined workflows

The Linus Health platform delivers best-in-class EHR integrations designed to fit seamlessly into your health system’s workflows. By eliminating tedious data entry, our integration makes implementing digital cognitive assessments effortless — helping your organization improve efficiency, support longitudinal monitoring, and enhance care collaboration.

Enabling earlier detection and intervention — starting in primary care

Meet rising cognitive care needs for older adults

Quick-to-administer, sensitive assessments and rich provider reports support early detection of cognitive impairment, while personalized action plans help all patients adopt habits to protect brain health.
Optimize clinical triage for cognitive concerns

Easy-to-use, automated digital solutions — designed for health systems — streamline cognitive testing, enhance care coordination, and enable data-driven decision-making to optimize referrals for timely interventions.
Streamline clinical workflows & care pathways

Digital tools boost efficiency – standardizing test administration and simplifying scoring – while integrated clinical guidance and care pathways help providers set patients on the right paths.

I’ve been administering Linus assessments to patients in our neurology memory clinics, and I appreciate the ease of administration, immediate results scoring, and seamless integration with Cerner.

Enterprise-ready digital cognitive assessments and care pathways

Augmenting rich clinical expertise with AI, the Linus Health platform helps bring visibility to early cognitive impairment in a matter of minutes. A cornerstone of the platform, the Core Cognitive Evaluation™, combines objective analysis of cognitive performance — through the Digital Clock and Recall (DCR™) — with qualitative metrics from the Life and Health Questionnaire (LHQ) to deliver multifaceted brain health insights.

Next generation assessments

Built on the foundation of the DCR and its award-winning DCTclock™, our expanding suite of over a dozen cognitive assessments now provides even deeper insights. Whether used independently or in combination, these assessments — including remote capabilities with Anywhere for Health Systems™ — enhance detection, monitoring, and care coordination.

Life Science Assessments

Actionable reports and insights

Robust provider reports deliver actionable insights on cognitive performance, including recall and clock drawing recordings for visibility into the patient’s process. Additional assessments offer specialist-level insights, improving triage and easing system strain. Personalized patient action plans support proactive, whole-person care.

Efficient clinical and operational workflows

Streamlined clinical and operational workflows, including EHR integration, enhance the provider experience and reduce the effort required to manage assessments and results — all while driving clinical insights and facilitating care coordination to guide cognitive care pathways across health systems.

DCR Score Triage

In addition to the benefits digital cognitive tests offer; such as streamlined workflows, objectivity, and sensitivity; a broader digital brain health assessment platform can deliver a range of additional benefits to clinicians. For example, the Linus Health digital platform includes integrated clinical guidance to support clinicians with next steps based on cognitive assessment results. It also generates brain health action plans to help patients take lifestyle and health-based steps to promote brain health, empowering clinicians to address lifestyle and risk factors for patients.
Linus Health’s validated Digital Clock and Recall (DCR) assessment uses a process-based approach, validating and demonstrating discriminative power across health controls, cognitive impairment, and dementia. The DCR shows significant agreement with established neurocognitive tests; including the Mini-Cog, MoCA, MMSE, and SLUMS by capturing how a patient completes a task - not just the final result. Linus Health’s DCR also outperforms the MMSE and MoCA in sensitivity, helping to identify cognitive impairment earlier. This provides health systems with objective insights into timing, pauses, drawing behavior, and recall; alongside automated scoring that fits more consistently into existing clinical workflows.
If a patient’s assessment is indicative of cognitive impairment, Linus Health’s platform provides clinical guidelines and next steps to be considered for the patient and their circle of care. Personalized, lifestyle-based recommendations continuously evolve based on the patient’s progress and input from their care team. For health systems, tailored care pathways help adapt recommendations to each patient’s specific needs, supporting more consistent cognitive care that fits into your organization’s workflows. Care teams can coordinate on closing care gaps, and support patients towards appropriate interventions sooner.
Yes, Linus Health integrates into your existing electronic health records (EHR) to streamline your workflows and reduce manual data-entry tasks. Linus Health uses SMART on FHIR and HL7 standards via Redox to integrate directly with EHR systems like Epic and Oracle Health, streamlining order placement and assessment result workflows. Through these integrations, implementing Linus’ digital cognitive assessments into clinical practice becomes seamless, enabling your organization to prioritize patient care.
Linus Health partners closely with health system teams to understand their clinical goals, workflows, EHR/technical systems, and care delivery needs. Linus Health supports tailored implementation; spanning EHR integration, platform training, and continuous support. Linus Health works with health systems to embed cognitive assessments into everyday practice, designed specifically for clinician efficiency and improved patient outcomes.
