Psique: Computerised Neuropsychological Assessment

Neuropsychological tests are tools, used by psychologists, to measure and assess the impact of cognitive impairment diseases on patients. These tests are usually run and scored by hand, and results are stored on paper files. However, over the last years, the use of computers and Information and Communications Technology have been considered facilitating those processes. As a result, today there are Neuropsychological Batteries and Computerized Assessments with enough accuracy for evaluating such tests and redesigning the way those tests are applied. This paper presents the progress of Psique, a software application that groups a set of automatized neuropsychological tests used in consultation and operating theatre, developed by students of the Universidad del Valle, with neuropsychologists from the Hospital Departamental Psiquiátrico Universitario del Valle and the Centro Médico Imbanaco.
