CANTAB Connect Research

CANTAB Connect Research is a cloud-based cognitive assessment platform developed by Cambridge Cognition, designed for academic and translational research. It provides validated, precise digital measures of cognitive function, supporting the collection of digital cognitive biomarkers and insights into underlying brain circuits. The platform is trusted by over 800 universities and research institutions worldwide and is suitable for use across a wide range of populations and research indications.

The platform supports both in-person and remote study delivery via iPad or web browser, with automated test administration and real-time access to data. It is designed to be quick to set up and cost and time efficient, with Cambridge Cognition's expert team working alongside researchers to configure assessment batteries aligned to specific study goals.

Electronic Questionnaires and Scales

• Electronic questionnaires and scales can be delivered through the CANTAB Connect Research platform
• Both established and bespoke questionnaires are supported, with outcome measures configured to specific research requirements
• Cambridge Cognition's teams work with researchers to set up and deliver these instruments

Normative Data

• Normative data is available for selected tests, test variants, and outcome measures
• Normative data is not intended to replace a control group within a study

Study Delivery Options

• In-person testing: Subjects complete tasks on iPads; devices can be supplied by Cambridge Cognition or sourced locally
• Web-based testing: Subjects can complete assessments remotely on iPads, Apple Macs, or Windows computers, removing the need for travel
• Real-time data access: The cloud-based platform is accessible via web browser, enabling rapid study setup and immediate access to collected data

Data Security and Compliance

• CANTAB Connect Research is ISO 27001 compliant, providing assurance of data protection and privacy for both researchers and study subjects

For institutions running multiple concurrent projects, Cambridge Cognition offers tailored departmental licences to support teams working across several studies. The platform is suitable for translational research and covers a broad range of therapeutic areas and cognitive functions.
