Questions
About Clara
Is Clara free of charge?
Yes! Clara is dedicated to advanced research on Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. We are not a commercial company, but a digital tool for academic purposes.
How does Clara work?
Clara first analyzes the information it gathers to create a personalized, ecologically valid orientation test. Then, Clara compares your test score to test scores of people ranging over the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum to help your doctor with the diagnosis.
Can Clara diagnose whether I have Alzheimer’s disease?
Clara is a tool that may help your doctor reach a diagnosis, but a diagnosis cannot be reached solely by Clara’s test score. Taking the test on Clara frequently may help your doctor identify a decline in your cognitive status at an early stage, to which he/she may invite you for further tests at his/her discretion.

Using Clara
I want to use Clara. How do I receive a token, which enables taking the test?
Contact your doctor to issue a token for the app. Clara is currently exclusive for partnered doctors and their patients only.
With which devices may I use Clara?
Clara is currently supported for Android devices (tablets and smartphones), Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. iOS devices will be available in the near future.
Can a family member or friend help me answer the questions?
Of course. If you feel a family member or friend may help you answer the questions during the chat, you are most welcome. During the test we ask that you tackle this by yourself.
How frequently should I retake the test on Clara?
We advise taking the test on Clara routinely every 4 months.
