Amidst growing awareness of mental and neurological health, along with modern challenges such as chronic stress, burnout, and the threat of conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's, the DBFS offers a fast, accurate, and objective screening tool. This test is designed to assess the state of our brain function in a short period of time.
What is Digital Brain Function Screening (DBFS)?
DBFS is a sophisticated screening method that uses a digital interface (tablet) to comprehensively evaluate eight key domains of brain function. The exam is designed like a series of fun, interactive games or tests, but is powered by scientific algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) for in-depth analysis.
Brain functions measured include:
- Attention and Concentration
- Processing Speed
- Short-Term Memory
- Long-Term Memory
- Executive Function
- Reaction Speed
- Eye-Hand Coordination
Advantages of Digital Brain Function Screening
DBFS offers a number of revolutionary advantages, including:
1. Comprehensive and Multidimensional Data Analysis
The system captures and analyzes thousands of data points, not limited to right or wrong answers. Aspects such as response speed, accuracy, consistency, error patterns, and even interaction dynamics with the screen are measured to provide a highly detailed cognitive profile.
2. Fun Testing Methods Like Playing Games
The exam is designed with a fun, interactive, game-like interface. This creates a stress-free experience, increasing user engagement and motivation to perform at their best.
3. High Objectivity and Consistency
The entire assessment and scoring process is run by a standardized algorithm. This ensures that every examination is conducted using exactly the same procedures, resulting in consistent and reliable data.
4. Speed and Efficiency in Processing
The technology used enables real-time data processing and rapid report generation. In-depth analysis results can be available within a short time after the inspection session is completed.
5. Dynamic Adaptive Capabilities
The difficulty level of certain tasks can adjust automatically and in real time based on the user's abilities. This allows for optimal evaluation for a wide range of abilities, from the most basic to the most advanced.
6. Intuitive and Informative Data Visualization
The test results are presented in an easy-to-understand dashboard and graphs, allowing for clear interpretation of the strengths and weaknesses of the various domains of brain function measured.
Who Needs to Run DBFS?
This service isn't just for those already experiencing symptoms. DBFS is highly recommended for:
- Active and Productive Individuals (Ages 30-50 years) who frequently experience stress, difficulty focusing, or brain fog to optimize work performance.
- Elderly (Age above 50 years) as a routine screening to detect early signs of dementia, Alzheimer's, or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
- Post-Stroke Patients to monitor cognitive function recovery.
- Patients with Neurological Disorders such as Parkinson's, Epilepsy, or Multiple Sclerosis.
- Anyone who cares about their brain health and wants to get a baseline picture of their cognitive condition.
DBFS Services at EMC Hospital
DBFS services are now available at all EMC hospitals. Interested EMC members can go directly to the Medical Check-Up (MCU) department for a DBFS test or consult with a neurologist.
With the presence of DBFS, EMC Hospital is not only offering a new service, but also inviting all Indonesians to start a new, more conscious and progressive conversation about the importance of maintaining brain health. Medical Check Up at EMC Alam Sutera Hospital: 0822 1076 8071
