since the app's testing time is a lot shorter, examiners have a hard time finding memory impairments because they don't have the detailed questions and assessments that the traditional approach has. 

Cognitive assessments tests can take a very long time when using the paper and pencil methods both  as an examiner and examinee. The app tackles this problem by providing results for multiple tests in as little as 10 minutes. 
The app also provides a highly standardized way of providing the patients with the assessment questions'.
Having the app is also beneficial for patients that struggle with long test cognitively, such as patients with strokes.

The app, OCS-BRIDGE, is used on a tablet that is specifically created for the app. The app is able to perform a screening and the exam, so no paper and pen needed. The app saves the patient information and that prevents repetitive assessment and can also provide progress information.
