Advancience – a University of Basel spin-off – develops game-based tools to measure psychological variables: how well we can concentrate, how well our memory functions and how fast are we able to process and react. These variables are measured by short basic cognitive parameters known to be indicators of mental wellbeing from years of research.
Advancience has created the «Cognitive World Atlas» platform that hosts psychological tools in the form of entertaining computer games. Advancience toolkit is set up to be an important resource for both psychological research as well as for diagnostics of mental disorders, since these cognitive skills are typically impaired in individuals suffering from psychiatric or neurological conditions. It is of enormous importance to be able to supplement subjective assessments in diagnostics with objective parameters – both for the early detection and treatment of diseases and for the development of drugs.
The advancience approach aims at improving diagnostics in mental health by making use of new technology to provide a scalable solution.
