A New Haven company has been granted up to $1.3 million from a national Alzheimer’s disease accelerator to advance its work developing a mobile app that can help detect early memory loss.
Cogstate Ltd., which is headquartered at 195 Church St. and specializes in computerized testing of brain function, will use the funding to adapt its well-known International Shopping List Test (ISLT) for smartphones and tablets.
Cogstate developed the test, which uses a real-world scenario of trying to remember a series of grocery items, to track memory changes over time.
