BoCA™ (Boston Cognitive Assessment) is a clinically validated, 10-minute digital cognitive assessment that evaluates 8 key cognitive domains. It's designed specifically for older adults and provides reliable, longitudinal tracking of cognitive health.
The BoCA™ assessment typically takes 8-12 minutes to complete. The exact time may vary depending on individual response times and the specific tasks presented.
BoCA™ evaluates 8 cognitive domains: Memory, Attention, Language, Executive Function, Mental Math, Visuospatial Skills, Orientation, and Delayed Recall. Each domain is assessed using scientifically validated tasks.
Yes, BoCA™ has strong scientific validation. It correlates highly with established assessments like MoCA (r=0.85) and TICS (r=0.80), and has excellent test-retest reliability (r=0.89).
BoCA™ is available as an iOS app for iPhone and iPad. The app is optimized for iOS 16.0 and later versions, ensuring the best experience on Apple devices.
