About This Partner
When you adjust a patient's care plan based on neurological findings, how do you objectively measure what changed? CNS Vital Signs provides the answer — and it takes less than 30 minutes.
CNS Vital Signs is a computerized neurocognitive assessment platform trusted by over 2,000 investigators and clinicians worldwide. The system captures millisecond-precise measurements across eleven brain function domains — composite memory, verbal memory, visual memory, executive function, processing speed, psychomotor speed, reaction time, complex attention, cognitive flexibility, simple visual attention, and motor speed — then auto-scores results against age-normed global data.
For Carrick Institute scholars, this means you can baseline a patient before treatment, track neurocognitive changes through your intervention, and demonstrate measurable outcomes with objective data. Whether you're managing concussion recovery, evaluating cognitive decline, monitoring ADHD treatment, or documenting functional neurology outcomes, CNS Vital Signs transforms subjective clinical impressions into defensible, reproducible data your patients and referring providers can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Partner FAQ
What does the assessment measure?
The VSX Brief-Core battery evaluates eleven neurocognitive domains through seven validated subtests: verbal memory, visual memory, finger tapping, symbol digit coding, Stroop Test, shifting attention, and continuous performance. Results are auto-scored against a normative database spanning ages 7–90.
How long does testing take?
The core battery takes approximately 30 minutes. Results are available immediately — no manual scoring, no waiting for a neuropsychologist to interpret.
Can I use it for serial testing and outcome tracking?
Yes. CNS Vital Signs was designed specifically for repeated administration. The system auto-randomizes stimuli across sessions, minimizing practice effects. This makes it ideal for tracking treatment outcomes, monitoring cognitive decline, or evaluating concussion recovery over time.
Is remote testing available?
Yes. Secure remote testing allows patients to complete assessments from home — expanding telehealth capabilities and enabling pre-visit baselines without additional chair time.
