THE NIH PRECISION BRAIN HEALTH NETWORK: Open and Inclusive Measurement of Neuropsychological Change for AD/ADRD Primary Prevention Trials 

Drs. Seitz and Jaeggi are developing a digital platform to standardize how researchers measure brain health across diverse populations. Their Portable Adaptive Rapid Testing (PART) system provides flexible smartphone-based tests for hearing, vision, and cognitive abilities that can be customized for different research studies and easily shared across institutions. This work supports early detection and prevention of cognitive decline by creating a common “language” for brain health measurements that any researcher or clinician can use.
