Software Validation Study-Cognitive Status Indicator

The SPARK Cognitive Status Indicator software uses an algorithm to assess a resting state EEG recording as being consistent with a cognitive status of unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI; MCI AD- or MCI AD+), or dementia (dementia AD-, or dementia AD+). This study will compare SPARK Cognitive Status Indicator output to Adjudication Committee panel-based diagnosis of cognitive status and Alzheimer's disease.

Up to 600 subjects (and informants) may be enrolled and have a brain scan, cognitive, and blood assessments collected:

Visit 1-Screening:

-Salzburg (SDTP)- remote via telephone or video visit

Visit 2-Evaluations:

* EEG Scan (brain scan)
* Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR)- at home visit
* Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE)-at home visit
* Functional Assessment Staging Tool (FAST)- at home visit
* blood- Amyloid Beta 42/40 ratio, p tau and APO-E proteotype There are two instances of subject engagement with the study team after informed consent. One, during screening which may be a remote visit and and Two, during a home visit. The study participation ends when all of the assessments have been collected. The total duration of subject participation should be no more than 2-3 days within a 30 day period.

The output of the investigational software used in the analysis to determine a identification of cognitive and Alzheimer's status based the data from the EEG scan shall be compared to the identification of cognitive and Alzheimer's status from a group of dementia specialists forming an Adjudication Committee which shall review all data (except for investigational device output).
