ASSESS SYSTEM

摘要

An automated multi-purpose, real-time apparatus is provided herein for administration of visual and/or auditory stimuli to a patient. The apparatus includes a visual and/or auditory stimulus generator, a response acquisition system, a data display system and a host controller/processor system with memory and mass storage capability. A stimulus generator including auditory and/or visual stimulus generation means is used to present calibrated, predetermined sequences of test stimuli to the subject/patient under control of the host controller/processor. Both test stimuli and test instructions may be presented using the stimulus generator. Various behaviourial responses from the subject are registered and relayed to the host controller/processor. The apparatus also includes an operator control terminal by which data entry and editing are provided for programming the host controller/processor. The results obtained from the administration of individual tests and test batteries are analyzed and stored and a database archive of patient files may then be updated. Various summaries of test results are reported and communicated, and may be displayed through reference to the database archive.
