The global cognitive assessment and training in healthcare market size was valued at USD 4.46 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 5.12 billion in 2024 to USD 18.29 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.2% during the forecast period.


Cognitive assessment and training in healthcare tools are used to assess the mental functioning of the patient. These tools can help to screen and train individuals with neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, dementia, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and depression. These tools also help healthcare providers to understand the mental health of patients. If a significant decline in mental functioning is observed, further referral to a neurologist may be necessary. The increasing prevalence of such neurological disorders has been fueling the demand for cognitive assessment and training in healthcare. For instance, as per a research article published by Frontiers Media S.A. in 2022, the global prevalence of MCI was around 15-20%.


Moreover, the incorporation of cognitive assessment in clinical trials is helpful in understanding the effect of treatment on the human brain. Therefore, the boost in the number of clinical trials for the development of effective vaccines and drugs for the virus during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 fueled the demand for cognitive assessment, thereby positively impacting the market growth.


Cognitive Assessment and Training in Healthcare Market Trends


Increasing Trend of Virtual Clinical Trials to Augment Demand for Cognitive Assessment and Training in Healthcare


In clinical trials for effective treatment for specific conditions, cognitive and technical assessments are incorporated to study the effect of drug candidates on patients’ brains by assessing their cognitive functioning. These tests help in understanding whether the drug is helping in brain development or not. During the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, many research studies were temporarily put on hold as the researchers were not able to visit research sites due to lockdown restrictions. This led to the emergence of decentralized clinical trials, which are conducted using virtual patient monitoring, wearable medical devices, remote SDV, and other advanced technologies.


In decentralized clinical trials, patients can participate remotely, and they are monitored through digital tools. This factor has fueled the participation of patients in these trials, as the patients can join from the convenience of their homes. Decentralized clinical trials allow patients to participate in research studies irrespective of their location.



  • For instance, as per an article published by mdgroup in 2023, it had been observed in many studies that around 70% of the patients were only present for around 2 hours at the research site for monitoring. Whereas in decentralized trials, the patients can be monitored for more hours as required by the researchers.


The increasing number of decentralized clinical trials has been fueling the adoption of digital cognitive assessments and training in healthcare. In decentralized clinical trials with digital cognitive assessment features, registered patients do not have to go to the research center, and complete their cognitive assessments online. Researchers can easily review the assessments without actually meeting the patients in person. The incorporation of digital cognitive assessment and training in healthcare has proved to be quite helpful and convenient for virtual clinical trials. This has increased the awareness of digital cognitive assessments among patients and is responsible for the market’s growth.

Cognitive Assessment and Training in Healthcare Market Growth Factors


Increasing Number of Clinical Trials for Neurological Diseases to Fuel Demand for Cognitive Assessment


It is essential to study cognitive changes in preclinical and clinical studies for neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s. Therefore, the increasing number of clinical trials for these diseases has been one of the significant factors fueling the demand for cognitive assessment. For instance, as per data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), till January 2022, around 143 drug candidates were being studied in 172 clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease. A total of 50,575 patients were required to conduct the clinical studies. These patients also need to be regularly monitored for cognitive changes.


Furthermore, the increasing awareness and prevalence of neurological diseases have been fueling the demand for these products and services.



  • For instance, as per the data published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Journal, as of January 2024, around 164 clinical trials are being conducted globally, assessing 124 drug candidates for Alzheimer’s disease. However, the number of clinical trials being conducted in 2021 was around 152, assessing around 126 drugs.


This increasing prevalence of neurological diseases and the growing number of clinical trials for these diseases have been fueling market growth.


Increasing Prevalence of Neurological Disorders have been Fueling the Demand for Effective Cognitive Assessment Tools


The increasing prevalence of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and depression along with the rising awareness regarding the cognitive assessment tools has been fueling the demand for cognitive assessment and training in healthcare tools.



  • For instance, as per data published by the Alzheimer's Association in 2023, around 6.7 million individuals aged 65 and older in the U.S. had Alzheimer’s disease.

  • Similarly, as per a research study published by BioMed Central Ltd. in May 2023, around 4.05% suffered from anxiety disorder worldwide.


Therefore, the increasing prevalence of disorders such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia has been driving the adoption of cognitive assessment. Additionally, increasing awareness about cognitive assessment for learning disabilities, cognitive assessment in occupational therapy, and screening for neurological disorders, has further contributed to cognitive assessment and training in healthcare market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Limitations Associated with the Cognitive Assessment and its High Cost to Limit Market Growth


The growing burden of neurological disorders and the increasing awareness regarding cognitive assessment and training in healthcare have increased the adoption of these assessment tools. However, certain limitations associated with cognitive assessments have been restricting their global adoption. Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) is considered a gold standard in neuropsychological tests, but its efficacy in varied populations is not well defined.



  • For instance, as per a research study published by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in January 2024, researchers observed that the cut-off scores used in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for the study’s patients were very high, which can result in the wrong identification of cognitive impairment.


Furthermore, these tests can be very costly depending upon the type of test, duration of the complete test, and complexity in giving the results.



  • For instance, in France, the cost of a basic cognitive assessment test package (including multiple tests) can be around USD 600.0 – 800.0 and can go as high as USD 1,000.0 - 1,200.0. It can go much higher depending on the complexity and the patient’s requirements.


Due to such factors, patients avoid going for such screening tests and opt directly for neurological disease diagnosis, thereby limiting market growth.
