Small Changes. Big Implications.
Because it’s not a number , it’s a profile.
Mental Health & Wellbeing
DARTS provides an objective snapshot of how an individual is functioning in that moment, offering a grounded complement to self-report and observation. By tracking subtle changes in accuracy, response speed and variability over time, DARTS enables personalised, objective insight into what is genuinely helping an individual and what may be masking underlying change, supporting more informed decisions about wellbeing strategies.
Ageing, chronic care & early cognitive screening
In ageing and cognitive clinics, DARTS can offer a gentle, objective snapshot of how a person responds to simple visual information in quiet conditions. It does not diagnose decline, but it can highlight changes worth monitoring over time.
Many older adults report feeling slower, distracted or "not quite themselves". A short DARTS session can provide reassurance when performance remains stable, or give clinicians a prompt to explore other cognitive, sensory or health factors when clear shifts appear.
Because the protocol is consistent across visits, teams can build a clearer picture of long-term trends , something especially valuable in chronic care, vascular risk monitoring and early cognitive review pathways.
Brain injury & concussion assessment
DARTS offers clinicians a simple way to observe how a patient handles visual information and rapid decision-making after concussion or brain injury , not as a diagnosis, but as an additional perspective alongside the standard tools.
Because the protocol is short and portable, it can be used in quiet clinic rooms during early follow-up or later reviews. Small shifts in consistency, hesitation or visual detection can help clinicians understand whether a patient is returning to their usual processing style or still compensating.
For patients who struggle to describe their symptoms , or who feel "fine" despite subtle changes , DARTS provides an objective, low-pressure way to help structure conversations about readiness, ongoing recovery and expected next steps.
Data-driven healthcare & clinical insight
Many clinics already collect excellent behavioural, cognitive and functional data. DARTS complements these by adding a consistent timing-based profile that is easy to repeat and interpret over time.
Instead of relying on single-session impressions, teams can view gradual patterns across weeks or months. Stable results can reassure both clinicians and patients; emerging divergence can flag when a closer look may be useful.
Whether used in individual care, service-level audits or research projects, DARTS provides a standardised behavioural metric that fits naturally alongside existing clinical systems and reporting tools.
Paediatric cognitive & developmental evaluation
For children and young people, DARTS offers a calm, game-like way to capture aspects of attention, inhibition, visual processing and response consistency. It is not an exam and does not require reading or language, making it accessible to many children from around age seven.
The results can give teachers, psychologists and families a simple sense of a child's relative strengths and the areas where they may find busy environments, competing information or rapid choices more challenging.
These profiles do not label a child , they simply offer another viewpoint to support broader developmental assessments, IET planning or follow-up conversations when a young person struggles to explain what feels difficult.
Neuro rehabilitation & recovery tracking
In neuro-rehabilitation, progress can be real but subtle. DARTS gives therapists and clinicians a portable way to observe how a patient's moment-to-moment processing changes as recovery unfolds.
Some individuals regain consistency before speed; others improve visually before showing physical control. Seeing these patterns can help guide discussions around goals, expectations and which therapy focus may feel most meaningful to the patient.
The ability to compare sessions , without altering the protocol , helps teams track recovery over weeks or after transitions between inpatient and outpatient settings.
Objective cognitive-motor profiles across the care pathway.
DARTS helps clinicians move beyond single scores and bedside impressions. By breaking response time into perceptual, decision and motor components, it shows where change is happening - and how that should inform triage, rehab plans and longer-term monitoring.
DARTS is designed to sit alongside existing assessments - not replace clinical judgement.
From impressions and single scores to interpretable profiles.
Bedside tests, rating scales and clinical experience are essential. DARTS adds a complementary layer: portable, standardised, high-resolution timing data that separates perceptual, decision and motor contributions to change.
Two similar patients, very different causes
Two patients can have the same overall response time, yet for opposite reasons. One struggles to detect visual information quickly; the other detects and decides normally but has slowed motor execution.
- Perception-driven changes: relevant in visual, attentional and early cognitive decline.
- Decision-driven changes: linked to executive function, cognitive control and fatigue.
- Motor-driven changes: prominent in stroke, Parkinsonism and neuromuscular conditions.
Consistent data across clinics, rehab and research
The same DARTS protocol can be used in multiple settings with minimal training:
- Acute and early follow-up after brain injury or stroke.
- Inpatient and outpatient neuro-rehabilitation programmes.
- Memory, cognition and ageing clinics in primary or secondary care.
- Research units and clinical trials needing behavioural timing endpoints.
That means less fragmentation: clinicians, therapists and researchers can look at comparable profiles rather than isolated tests.
Where DARTS fits in real pathways.
From single-clinic pilots to multi-site deployments, DARTS is designed to integrate into existing workflows with short, repeatable protocols.
Brain injury & concussion
- Baseline testing in selected populations (e.g. sport, military, specific clinics).
- Objective follow-up after mild TBI or concussion.
- Additional input into return-to-activity decisions alongside existing criteria.
Stroke & neuro rehabilitation
- Characterise each patient’s perceptual vs motor contributions to slowing.
- Track change at key rehab milestones and outpatient reviews.
- Use visual plots to support goal-setting and patient motivation.
Ageing, cognitive clinics & chronic care
- Short screening protocols in memory or cognitive clinics.
- Longitudinal tracking in at-risk groups (e.g. vascular risk, neurodegenerative conditions).
- Structured feedback for patients and families using simple visuals.
Paediatrics, development & research
- Objective support for developmental and attention-related assessments.
- Add high-resolution behavioural timing to interventional or observational studies.
- Standardised protocols across sites in multi-centre work.
From a single clinic room to whole services.
Start with a single device in a neuro or cognitive clinic and scale to multi-site deployments as evidence and demand grow. Add EMG or EEG where research and specialist services require it.
We offer:
- Single-clinician kit (1 device): ideal for stroke, neuropsychology, concussion or memory clinics.
- Clinic pack (3-5 devices): for larger departments and multidisciplinary teams.
- Service / system pack (8-12 devices): for hospitals, networks or pilot screening programmes.
Each can be configured as:
- DARTS Behavioural: visual stimuli and response timing.
- DARTS + EMG: add muscle activation timing around the response.
- DARTS + EMG + EEG: connect brain, muscle and behaviour for research-intensive centres.
Explore DARTS in your clinical context.
We work with clinicians, service leads and researchers to identify where DARTS can add value without disrupting existing workflows or over-burdening teams.
Ideal starting conversations:
- Clinical leads in stroke, neuro rehab, concussion or cognitive clinics.
- Heads of research, innovation or transformation in health systems.
- Academic groups running trials or cohort studies involving human performance.
