Novel tool for the evaluation of cognitive impairment that interfere with optimum quality of life: 18 items questionnaire with score correlated to clinical outcome and indications.
Cognitive Function refers to intellectual processes and all aspects of perception, thinking, reasoning, and remembering that are key in maintaining personal and social independence, working capability, and associated quality of life. In cancer patients surgical treatment of Central Nervous System tumors, as well as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone-therapy, could induce transitory or long-term cognitive impairment due to damaged encephalic tissues or blood-vessels. The tool was validated in cancer patients 1 to 3 years after diagnosis, and 5 progression free years after the end of treatment. It is now ready to use and well known around the world and can be applied for other non-neurological populations.
Looking for:
i) IT partner to develop a mobile/web app to fill the questionnaire and provide a feedback (i.e. a colour coded output with a prescription from the psychologist). The app will facilitate questionnaire use for patients and will be useful to monitor its application around the world.
ii) Researchersand other professionals interested in validating the instruments in other populations
