Product Overview
The Executive Brain-Span Audit (MCI) at EMIS+ is a comprehensive cognitive health assessment service available exclusively through emis.asia in Singapore. This clinical-grade screening protocol employs validated neuropsychological instruments to evaluate executive function, episodic memory, visuospatial ability, language fluency, and processing speed. The assessment generates a personalised brain longevity profile that quantifies cognitive reserve and identifies domains requiring targeted intervention.
Early detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment represents a critical window for therapeutic intervention. Peer-reviewed longitudinal studies demonstrate that individuals identified at the MCI stage who receive structured cognitive rehabilitation, lifestyle modification, and pharmacological support where appropriate experience significantly better cognitive trajectories than those diagnosed after progression to dementia. The EMIS+ protocol integrates evidence-based screening methodologies consistent with NIA-AA 2018 research framework criteria and Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) clinical practice guidelines for dementia management.

Clinical Indications
- Proactive cognitive health screening for adults aged 40 and above as part of annual executive health programmes
- Early detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment in individuals presenting with subjective memory complaints not yet meeting dementia diagnostic thresholds
- Baseline cognitive profiling for patients initiating cardiovascular, metabolic, or neurological treatment protocols where cognitive monitoring is recommended
- Post-concussion or post-anaesthetic cognitive function assessment to establish recovery benchmarks
- Longitudinal cognitive monitoring for individuals with APOE-e4 carrier status or first-degree family history of Alzheimer disease
- Occupational cognitive fitness evaluation for professionals in safety-critical roles (aviation, healthcare, finance)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the clinical basis for MCI screening at age 40?
A: The NIA-AA 2018 research framework and epidemiological data from the Singapore Longitudinal Ageing Study (SLAS) indicate that subclinical cognitive changes can begin in the fourth decade. Early screening establishes a cognitive baseline that enables detection of meaningful decline over time, consistent with recommendations from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) practice parameter on MCI.
Q: Which neuropsychological instruments are used in this audit?
A: The assessment employs internationally validated tools including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Trail Making Test Parts A and B, Digit Span Forward and Backward, and Category Fluency testing. These instruments are recommended by the Singapore MOH Clinical Practice Guidelines on Dementia and align with NIA-AA core clinical criteria for MCI diagnosis.
Q: How does this differ from a standard memory screening?
A: Standard memory screenings such as the MMSE assess global cognitive function with limited sensitivity for MCI. The Executive Brain-Span Audit employs a multi-domain neuropsychological battery with specific attention to executive function — the cognitive domain most predictive of functional decline and occupational performance deterioration in early MCI presentations.
Q: Is this assessment recognised by Singapore healthcare authorities?
A: The screening instruments and diagnostic criteria used are consistent with Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) Clinical Practice Guidelines on Dementia and internationally recognised frameworks (NIA-AA, DSM-5). Results can be shared with referring physicians for clinical decision-making and further diagnostic workup including neuroimaging if indicated.
Q: Can I use MediFund, MediSave, or insurance to pay for this assessment?
A: Cognitive screening services may qualify for reimbursement under certain private health insurance plans or corporate wellness programmes. MediSave coverage for cognitive screening is subject to MOH regulations and referring physician assessment. Please consult your insurance provider or contact EMIS+ at emis.asia for specific coverage enquiries.
