Cognition at a Distance: Testing Cognition Remotely

We want to test adults with sickle cell disease, using both the conventional in-person Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and, within 2-4 months, the abbreviated 'MOCA-blind', which can be given remotely. In this way we can begin to evaluate whether these tests are sensitive to similar degrees of impairment when given remotely compared with in-person in people with sickle cell disease (SCD).
