Digital Health

The project aims to develop a  language-agnostic digital neuropsychological battery of tests, which will allow patients and consultants to monitor patient’s cognitive and psychological health like other physical health monitoring aids, such as blood pressure devices. We are working with hospitals, like NIMS, to examine patients' neuropsychological health associated with physical ailments, like Lupus or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or COVID, and psychosocial wellbeing issues, like stress, depression, and anxiety (SADness).  

Current focus: 

• Characterize the direct and indirect impact of COVID 19 on cognitive and psychological wellbeing. The study covers the impact on Indian students and Indian young and old adults. 

• Develop a ‘cognitive and psychological screening battery’ for patients suffering from autoimmune diseases like systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
