A clinically validated cognitive test you can take at home

Early detection leads to better outcomes

BoCA™ is built by researchers and trusted by professionals. It takes less than 10 minutes on your iPhone or iPad.

As we age, it's normal for some aspects of thinking and memory to change. But in some cases, these early shifts may signal something more serious-like mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's, or another form of dementia.

BoCA™ evaluates memory, attention, language, and other key brain functions using randomized, scientifically developed tasks. Routine cognitive testing helps detect those changes early, giving individuals and caregivers a clearer picture of brain health over time and making it easier to take action when needed.

Designed with older adults in mind, BoCA™ offers a simple, private way to stay informed about your brain health-without needing an appointment or specialized equipment. BoCA™ was created to make this kind of testing widely accessible.
