A tablet test aims to catch hidden attention and memory problems after stroke
NCT ID NCT07762274
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a tablet version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) can accurately identify cognitive issues like spatial neglect and attention problems in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will compare results from the tablet test with the traditional paper version in stroke survivors and healthy adults across Sweden, the UK, and Italy. The goal is to see if the digital tool can make screening faster and more reliable, potentially improving early diagnosis and rehabilitation planning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tablet-based version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS), a computerized cognitive screening tool
- What this could lead to
- If the tablet version works as well as the paper test, it could make cognitive screening after stroke faster and more accurate, helping more people get the right rehabilitation.
- What could go wrong
- The tablet test may not match the paper version's accuracy, and results from different countries may vary. Early-stage validation means it might not be widely adopted.
