It was shown to improve reading ability in people with pure alexia (Woodhead et al., 2013) and central alexia (Woodhead et al., 2018) - In the clinical trial of iReadMore for central alexia (the most common form of acquired reading disorder), the average improvement in reading accuracy was 8.7% for trained words. Three months after finishing the therapy, users still had significantly better reading ability than before they started. - Anonymised results from the app will be collected to test how effective the app is and to improve our understanding of reading rehabilitation.

OxMET was developed by the Translational Neuropsychology Research Group at the University of Oxford. The OxMET cognitive screen has been standardised, normed and validated (Webb et al 2021, Neuropsychological Rehabilitation). OxMET is suitable for use with adults, and in chronic (greater 6-month post-stoke) and subacute (greater 3 months post-stroke). The tool is not for self-assessment. Instead, OxMET provides health professionals with a brief, ecologically valid, assessment of executive dysfunction using a naturalistic shopping scenario. The test is automatically scored and evaluated against age adjusted norms (three age groups; under 64, between 64 and 72, and over 72). Upon completion, a visual snapshot report is automatically generated and can be stored locally on the device. The information contained in the report is not in itself a clinical diagnosis. The report should be used to inform a clinical diagnosis that takes into account all relevant clinical factors.
