BrainCheck® Launches Population Analytics to Scale Proactive Cognitive Care

New solution analyzes structured EHR data to identify and prioritize patients for clinician review, without disrupting health system EHR roadmaps.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blood-based biomarkers and disease-modifying therapies are rapidly changing Alzheimer's disease care, but one challenge remains largely unsolved: how do health systems identify which patients should be evaluated first?

Today, most patients are identified only during an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV), where cognitive screening competes with dozens of other preventive care requirements. As a result, many patients who may benefit from further evaluation are never identified until symptoms become more advanced.

BrainCheck®, a leader in digital cognitive assessment and care planning technology, today launched BrainCheck Population Analytics, a new solution that analyzes up to 40 factors within structured electronic health record (EHR) data and returns a prioritized patient registry to help health systems focus clinician time where it matters most.

Unlike traditional cognitive care programs that depend almost entirely on opportunistic screening during office visits, BrainCheck Population Analytics provides organizations with a population-wide view of patients whose records may warrant clinician review, allowing proactive outreach and care planning without requiring a major EHR implementation project or disrupting existing IT priorities.

"The challenge isn't collecting more data, it's knowing where to begin," said Andrew Chen, Vice President of Product Management at BrainCheck. "Population Analytics transforms existing structured EHR data into a prioritized patient registry, giving practices a clear, actionable starting point for proactive cognitive care without requiring a major IT project."

Early Results

Capital Medical Center in Austin, Texas, serving nearly 10,000 Medicare patients aged 65 and older, recently implemented BrainCheck Population Analytics to support the launch of its cognitive care program.

"The analysis gave us a comprehensive view of our patient population and a prioritized patient registry that showed us exactly where to begin. By working from a simple structured EHR data extract, we gained that level of visibility within weeks, without disrupting our EHR roadmap or incurring significant implementation costs," said Ronnie Castello, Chief Operating Officer.

Organizations Receive

• Executive Population Analytics Dashboard
• Prioritized patient registry
• Secure patient outreach file
• Biomarker opportunity analysis
• Executive summary of findings
• Executive clinical review

Each prioritized patient record includes up to 40 structured EHR data elements and published research-derived analytic criteria supporting its inclusion, allowing clinicians to independently review the underlying information using their own professional judgment.

BrainCheck Population Analytics is built on peer-reviewed research, including work from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the externally validated eRADAR methodology, demonstrating that structured EHR data can help identify patients whose records may warrant additional cognitive evaluation. Prospective pragmatic validation of the BrainCheck methodology is currently underway in real-world clinical settings.

"Primary care teams have long recognized the importance of cognitive health, but limited time and competing priorities make proactive identification difficult," said Dr. Stephen Bekanich, Chief Medical Officer at BrainCheck. "Population Analytics helps health systems understand their population and gives clinicians a practical place to begin."
