TabCAT vs MSPT

The Tablet-based Cognitive Assessment Tool (TabCAT) is an application developed at University of California San Francisco for the administration of clinical and research tools. The variety of tools available on TabCAT includes cognitive tests of executive function, memory, language, motor skills, and visuospatial skills. It also includes a set of multidimensional questionnaires that are subject-facing, informant-facing, or examiner-facing. TabCAT tools are designed for use in diverse settings, and automated administration and scoring ensure high precision and standardization of measurement. The tests can be used for assessment and longitudinal monitoring of cognitive and behavioral abilities in adults.

The Multiple Sclerosis Performance Test (MSPT) is an iPad®-based assessment tool designed to objectively quantify major motor, visual, and cognitive function for individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The MSPT App is available to healthcare and research institutions involved in clinical research related to the care of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis. The MSPT is based on the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) assessment and may include: - MyHealth, a structured patient history questionnaire - Neurological Quality of Life (Neuro-QoL) questionnaire - Processing Speed Test - Visual Memory Test - Manual Dexterity Test - Walking Speed Test The MSPT App records, stores, and displays patient data generated from the assessment modules and compares it to normative data. The MSPT is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting and in a manner consistent with clinical judgment. It automates several tests routinely administered to MS patients. The MSPT does not provide any recommendations or conclusions related to diagnosis or treatment. Results are provided on an informational basis only.
