Abstract

Introduction: In this study, CCT performances were evaluated according to age, education level and number of repeated courses.

Methods: 2071 individuals, who applied online to participate for BEYNEX application were accepted. Participants declared that they have not received any diagnosis or treatment related to cognition. Patients’ total application activity time, activity of daily life (ADL) and game performances were monitored under 9 different domains.

Results: Data from a total of 388 (18%) users out of 2071 were eligible for this study. Cognitive domains affected by the age factor are "Memory, Speed, Flexibility, Attention, and Visual Perception". Education affects "Flexibility, Attention, Language, Aritmetic, and Visual Perception". Answers to the questions of ADL for “mood”, "regular medication use" and "spending time for hobbies" varied with age change. Users responded significantly differently to questions about “emotional state”, “time allocated for daily reading” and “waking up” early in the morning in relation to their education level. With the increase in the number of BEYNEX courses completed by the user, only “time allocated for physical exercises” was different from other ADL questions.

Conclusion: We conclude that while monitoring cognitive parameters with CCT, the most important performance indicators are the age and education level of the individual.
