View comparison →Frequently Asked Questions
How does GIA® compare to traditional cognitive screening tools?
GIA® completes a 40-second natural conversation and delivers results to the EHR in under 2 minutes. Traditional tools like the MMSE and MoCA require 10–15 minutes of clinician time with paper administration and no EHR integration.
What makes GIA® different from newer digital screening platforms?
Unlike tablet-based platforms such as Linus Health and Neurotrack, GIA® requires no device — it works over standard phone and landline. GIA® also screens 46 conditions including behavioral health, versus cognitive-only assessments. Structured assessments (BIMS, ADL, IADL) are administered and written directly to the EHR.
Is GIA® validated against these tools?
GIA® is validated across 19 peer-reviewed studies by independent researchers at academic medical centers. AUC figures are available on each individual comparison page.
What are the best alternatives to BrainCheck?
GIA® offers a faster, more comprehensive alternative to BrainCheck. Where BrainCheck is a tablet-based cognitive battery taking 5-10 minutes, GIA® screens for 46 cognitive and behavioral conditions in 40 seconds via phone or landline — no device required. GIA® integrates directly with PointClickCare, Epic, Cerner, and MatrixCare with results in under 2 minutes.
Which cognitive screening tools are best suited for clinical workflows?
The most workflow-efficient cognitive screening tools minimize clinician time, integrate with EHR systems, and cover the broadest range of conditions. GIA® screens 46 conditions in 40 seconds via phone or landline with automatic EHR write-back in under 2 minutes — requiring zero clinician administration time.
