Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a 30-point questionnaire extensively used in clinical and research facilities to measure cognitive impairment. It is commonly used in medicine and related health to detect dementia. It is also used to assess the severity and progression of cognitive impairment and to monitor the course of cognitive changes in an individual over time thus making it an effective way to document an individual's response to treatment.

Running the test takes between 5 and 10 minutes and looks at features such as registration (name retrieval), attention and computation, recall, language, simple command tracking and orientation.

The benefits of MMSE are the validity and reliability for the diagnosis and the longitudinal evaluation of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.

At Veresies Clinic The Psychometric Tool - MMSE is successfully implemented in Veresies Clinic.
