"In the context of technical innovation project supported by Foundation Saint-Luc, I proposed to work with
Metrisquare DiagnoseIS software to better assess the cognitive skills of deaf children. Indeed, there is not enough
effective materials to assess these children.
The direct registration system simplifies the tasks of data by reducing the number of operations required
by the examinator. The performance of the patient will be treated much more quickly and efficiently from
beginning to the end of the evaluation.
In addition, the simplification of the conditions for the examinator (via registration and autocorrect)
allow better contact with the patient and provide greater freedom of speaking time leading to a better
understanding of the problems and more human relationships.
Currently, this project has been selected and approved by the commission of the Foundation Saint-Luc. A
fundraiser will be held this 18th September 2012 to support this project and many others seen on the
website of the Fondation Saint-Luc"
Nathalie Vaes, PhD student, Laboratory for Neuropsychology, Ghent University
"In the context of a doctoral research project I used DiagnoseIS to develop a visuospatial
test battery to measure the effects of prism treatment in stroke patients. Data are
collected by means of a pen tablet and generated automatically in Metrisquare DiagnoseIS, which
facilitates statistical analyses." Nathalie's research resulted in the Ghent Visuospatial Neglect Test Battery.
Mark van den Bunt, Master student, Neuroscience and Cognition, Utrecht University
"Due to the limited possibility of testing epileptic patients with intracranial direct cortical stimulation,
it was required to develop a visuospatial task that allows for direct statistical analyses. With DiagnoseIS,
I have developed a line bisection task that gives me online feedback of the patient's performance. This enabled
me to gain more statistical power in a more efficient way."
Jasper Fabius, Master student, Neuroscience and Cognition, Utrecht University
"In my internship with neuropsychologists in the UMC Utrecht, I have developed a task that requires patients
to make a reach-to-point movement, to test for optic ataxia. This task is developed using DiagnoseIS and a
Wacom tablet. With this test we can now online see how the patient performs, in terms of accuracy and
reaction time. Afterwards we can also check for odd movement patterns in a 2D-plane, thanks to the
'register hovering' feature in Metrisquare DiagnoseIS."
Tinneke Hellinckx, PhD, Experimental, Clinical and Health Psychology, Ghent University
"For my PhD project, I was able to program two experiments with Metrisquare DiagnoseIS to get more insight into the mechanisms of movements in children with
Autism Spectrum Disorders. Firstly, an aiming task was developed to gain a better understanding of their motor control strategy. Secondly, a
visuomotor adaptation task was programmed to evaluate their abilities to update an internal model. By using DiagnoseIS, combined with a WACOM
tablet, data was collected and automatically processed into valuable movement parameters, on which statistical analyses could be conducted."
