The Selftest

Over 60% of AD patients go undiagnosed in a primary care setting. The reason Dr. Dougherty developed the Selftest and has released it as the first and only AD screening test available directly to the public is a direct attempt to reduce this alarming number. The ability to delay AD is more effective the earlier it is diagnosed.

The Selftest takes 10 – 15 minutes to complete and puts you back in control of your healthcare. After completing the test you will immediately get your results, which will tell you if you are experiencing normal age-related memory loss or if you have symptoms which should be further evaluated by a physician.

About the ALZselftest

Recognizing the need for an easily accessible test for every user, we've developed the ALZSelftest to help catch early signs of dementia and cognitive impairment in people ages 50 and older. You can take the test on the Internet with just basic computer skills-or with the help of a friend or family member if you are uncomfortable using a computer. More →

Development of the ALZselftest

In 2002, Dr. John H. Dougherty Jr., a leading neurologist, developed the Self Test, a paper test designed to identify cognitive impairment at the earliest possible stages. This test continues to be widely used in physicians' offices. Due to the alarming rate of AD sufferers going undiagnosed, Dr. Dougherty has now taken a very unconventional step by adapting his existing test for computer use, and making it available directly to the public. The ALZselftest evolved from that paper test, and has been designed as a user-friendly, low cost test, bringing the clinic into your home with the click of a button. More →
