Personal cognitive tracking
A 10-minute check-in that compares you with yourself
Five short tasks measure memory, attention and speed. Repeat the check-in every month or so. Over time, Mindline shows whether your results are steady or drifting away from your own usual range.

Find a quiet spot, use the same device each time, and wear your glasses if you need them.
This is not a diagnosis. If you notice sudden confusion, trouble speaking, a drooping face, or weakness on one side, call 911 now. These can be signs of a stroke.
Before you begin
How are you today?
Sleep, illness and distractions affect scores. Your answers help keep an off day from looking like a change.

How it works
About Mindline
What it measures
The tasks are original versions of methods widely used in cognitive research: list learning with delayed recall (memory), simple reaction time (alertness), symbol–digit coding (processing speed), and alternating trail-making (attention switching). They are not the MoCA, MMSE or any licensed clinical test.
How comparisons work
Your first check-in is treated as practice, because most people improve once they know the tasks. The next check-ins form your baseline. After two baseline check-ins, each new result is compared with your own average and spread. A result is called lower than usual when it falls well outside that spread, by a margin larger than normal day-to-day noise.
Check-ins taken while sick, short on sleep, or interrupted are saved but left out of the baseline. You can change that on the Your data page.
What it can't do
Mindline can't diagnose dementia, mild cognitive impairment, or any other condition. It has no population norms, so it can't say how you compare with others your age. A lower score can come from stress, mood, hearing or vision, a new device, or simply a bad day. A steady score doesn't rule out a problem either.
If you or people close to you have noticed changes in memory, planning, or everyday tasks, talk to a doctor whatever your scores show. A clinician can do a proper assessment.
Privacy
Mindline has no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. Your answers and scores are saved only in this browser on this device and are never sent anywhere. The page is set so it cannot contact any other server. You can delete everything at any time from the Your data page.
