Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease in primary care facilities could improve with a new innovative and inexpensive screening test. The Quick Behavioral Exam to Advance Neuropsychological Screening, or qBEANS, can assess peoples’ motor learning abilities, visuospatial memory and other relevant functions while requiring no technology or wearable sensors. Information on the exam was presented at a recent meeting of the Gerontology Society of America by Sydney Schaefer, an associate professor in the the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools. Shaefer is a co-author of a study of the screening test’s effectiveness and co-founder of Neurosessments LLC, which developed the qBEANS test.
