NeuroTrax Invites APA Meeting Attendees to Help Create Insight, the Worlds First Online, Crowd-Sourced Cognitive Testing Service

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) May 19, 2013

Reliable and practical office-based measurement of cognitive function has become critical for healthcare and disease management programs involving psychiatric and neurological disease. NeuroTrax Corporation, a pioneer in web-based cognitive assessment since 2000, is creating a next-generation service to help healthcare practitioners and organizations to more quickly and accurately assess cognitive status.

From its booth (#847) at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association this week in San Francisco, NeuroTrax will be conducting a specialized survey to tap-in to the impressive “brain power” and experience of the more than 13,000 psychiatrists, neurologists and other professionals expected to attend the event from all over the world.

Using results from the survey, along with a strong scientific foundation of 70 peer-reviewed articles developed over years for its popular MindStreams service (http://www.neurotrax.com), NeuroTrax will complete the development of Insight™, a suite of services for evaluation of conditions ranging from memory complaints common to the elderly, to adolescent/adult attention issues.

Planned for international release later this year, Insight will be the world’s first online cognitive testing service to provide professional data review reports from trained cognitive testing experts.

Insight is designed to deliver accurate, valid cognitive functioning assessments, providing a comprehensive brain health report across multiple cognitive domains. Administered in a medical office setting with only minimal supervision required, the test is designed for patients of a wide age range, with or without prior computer experience. Test results, along with a professional report from a cognitive expert, are expediently generated by the service.

“Over the years, we have seen an increased awareness of the importance of obtaining a clear snapshot of the patient’s cognitive status as an important extension of the neurological examination. However, too many patients with complaints of poor memory or difficulty concentrating do not have access to quality testing,” said Ely Simon, M.D., a board certified neurologist and creator of Insight. “By combing the results from our survey, new technology, and a body of science and research developed over many years, we aim to create a new generation of readily accessible cognitive testing and expert reporting, which will benefit practitioners and their patients.”

ABOUT NEUROTRAX

NeuroTrax Corporation was founded in 2000, driven by the vision of elevating the standard of patient care. The company delivers quality cognitive testing products and services to the medical community. With careful attention to cutting edge technology and critical scientific studies, NeuroTrax has succeeded in leading the way in this growing field.

Governor OMalley Swears in Members of Maryland Venture Fund Authority at Inaugural Meeting


Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

Governor Martin OMalley today presided over the official swearing-in of the Maryland Venture Fund Authority (MVFA) members. The nine-member Authority was established to provide advice to and consult with the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development in connection with the administration of the InvestMaryland Program. The Authority oversees the development of the Programs bidding mechanism that raises investment capital for seed and early-stage companies and selects the private venture capital firms who receive InvestMaryland funding and make investments through the Program, ensuring that all statutory requirements are met.

The Maryland Venture Fund Authority will play a key role in carrying out our comprehensive, long-term strategy for job creation, investment and venture capital growth in Maryland, said Governor OMalley. In these challenging economic times, InvestMaryland will help us continue to provide Maryland businesses with access to capital and support early stage investment companies. Together, we can create jobs and expand opportunity for economic development.

The MVFA is comprised of a diverse group of private sector executives and entrepreneurs, investors, small business owners and educators with experience in IT, bioscience, cyber, manufacturing, financial, advanced technology, education, agricultural, transportation, and non-profit sectors. This seasoned group will guide the States efforts to attract and grow small and early stage investment entrepreneurs and companies throughout Maryland. Earlier this year, aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs, companies, stakeholders, legislators and government officials helped craft policy, participated in InvestMaryland day which showcased support, entrepreneurs and venture capitalist successes and culminated in the passage of InvestMaryland legislation in May.

Authority members serve staggered three-year terms. Chairing the Authority will be Peter Greenleaf, President, MedImmune. Since joining MedImmune in 2006 as Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Greenleaf has overseen the development of the companys global marketing and portfolio organizations, as well as managing the broader commercial corporate development and strategy functions.

Maryland has an impressive legacy of creating an environment that cultivates and advances innovative thinking across many business sectors, among them the local biosciences community of which MedImmune is privileged to be a part, said Peter Greenleaf, president of Gaithersburg-based MedImmune, the global biologics business of AstraZeneca. I am honored and inspired to serve as chair of the Maryland Venture Fund Authority, which marries investment to visionary ideas that can become reality and, eventually, strong economic drivers for the State.

During their inaugural meeting, the Authority deliberated and established guidelines for both the requirements and process for an entrepreneur or venture capital company to seek funds under the States $ 70 Million initiative to spur early seed investment for businesses in Maryland.
