The BCAT® Test System is used worldwide by healthcare professionals across a variety of disciplines and settings.
BCAT® providers include psychologists, nursing professionals, rehab professionals (PT, OT, ST), care managers, physicians, and social workers. The BCAT® has also been proven to help predict discharge dispositions, identify those most likely to be re-admitted to hospitals shortly after discharge, facilitate level of care determinations, aid in fall prevention programs, and help with non-pharmacological behavior management.
With three assessment and treatment options available, select the tools that will best meet your needs.

1. The BCAT® Professional License $285*
Having access to the BCAT® Professional License is the ideal option for licensed healthcare professionals who are utilizing the BCAT® Approach. This approach to care integrates three systems: The BCAT® Test System, BCAT® Interventions and our ENRICH® Brain Health Program. With the BCAT® Professional License you have access to three scientifically-validated clinical resources that support comprehensive assessment and intervention tools to meet the needs of adults across the cognitive continuum.
- The BCAT® Test System License - On-demand training in the six unique assessment instruments that can be completed digitally (online) or via paper/pencil format. They detect changes in global cognition, multiple cognitive domains, and mood functioning. When completed online, each tool in the test system generates a patient-level report complete with overall score, factor scores, and impressions. These reports provide objective measurement of current abilities/deficits, and provide predictive information related to the impact on functional performance.
- Digital Working Memory Exercise Platform - Provides access to a variety of online, interactive cognitive exercises that target attention, memory, and executive control functions. We refer to this triad as the "cognitive task manager" skills used for everyday functioning. This evidence-based program offers hundreds of combinations of both basic and complex cognitive exercises, and they can be used as part of a cognitive rehabilitation program to return the patient to baseline, to improve cognitive performance, and to promote positive cognitive functioning while buffering against cognitive decline. This program is periodically updated and enhanced with new exercises added to create a dynamic experience for the user. These exercises, when combined with The BCAT® Working Memory Exercise – Home Edition and The BCAT® Working Memory Exercise – Professional Edition, support the BCAT® Prescriptive Treatment Protocols.
- The BCAT® Prescriptive Treatment Protocols - Validated by peer-reviewed studies, these four evidence-based protocols prescribe targeted treatment interventions for persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and different levels of dementia. These optional eight-session prescriptive protocols leverage components of the BCAT® Approach and are used by clinicians in a variety of settings. Each protocol offers the clinician guidance on how best to:
- Administer select instruments from the BCAT® Test System and leverage the Test System results.
- Target specific memory, attention, and executive function skills.
- Provide patient, family, and caregiver education.
- Prepare for safe and sustainable discharge with prescription of an individualized, cognitive home exercise program.
NOTE: Clinicians may want to consider the purchase of The BCAT® Working Memory Exercise Book - Professional Edition. This workbook contains key exercises that are integral to the protocols and offers interventions that enhance outcomes.
