Our approach

We are a group of clinicians and researchers with an interest in cognitive recovery in patients with cerebrovascular disease. These patients include those who have had a stroke or those who have a high risk of having a stroke for example following a mini stroke (known as Transient Ischaemic Attack). We know that these patients often show changes in their cognitive brain function such as difficulties with reasoning, memory, language or number skills. Our aim is to understand exactly why some patients exhibit these difficulties and what factors may worsen them. Through this study we hope to understand how to predict the trajectory of recovery of cognitive functions and to target interventions more precisely. To achieve this, we have carefully designed a comprehensive set of tests and questions that can be completed from the comfort of your own home and which will build a detailed picture of each person's cognitive profile. Currently, we welcome both patients with cerebrovascular disease and healthy individuals to complete our tests.

Step 1

Get in touch with us

Before you take part, we need to assign you a unique ID under which your responses will be saved. We do not store any identifiable information and your data will be kept in a secure server, in accordance with the UK GDPR rules. For more informantion on data protection, click here

Step 2

Tell us a little about yourself

After you are assigned your “unique” Participant ID, we will ask “a few” general and clinical questions which include aspects such as age, gender and medical history

Step 3

Cognitive Assessment

Here, you will play several computerized games that will test different facets of cognition such as memory, language, numerical skills, attention and reasoning

Step 4

Mood and Fatigue Testing

Then, we will ask you to complete a set of questions about your lifestyle, mood and behaviour
