The BrainHealth Index is a proprietary assessment of overall brain performance. It is measured by a comprehensive set of scientifically robust measures of cognitive, emotional, social and real-life functioning.

Clarity is the readiness to reason through complex situations, find optimism in crisis, prioritize rest, and create new opportunities and solutions.

Resilience is the capacity to connect with a social support system and find purpose in daily life.

Fortitude is the ability to remain emotionally balanced in the face of difficult situations, to handle adversity, and to find moments of joy.

Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), children will often experience difficulty with selective learning or the ability to select items to learn from among other items - a complex task requiring cognitive control mediates by the frontal lobe networks.

Memory decline for fine details is often the earliest sign of Alzheimer's disease; however, memory for holistic or global processing (gist) is much more stable throughout the lifetime.

The ability to extract meaning and ignore details from complex information (gist reasoning) is an essential skill that allows us to absorb information quickly and efficiently; however, this process is impaired in adults following a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Abstraction is a unique aspect of human cognition that is affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there are few ways to measure abstraction which often results in long-term deficits in cognition with impacts to daily functioning.
