Early Dementia Screening with ReCOGnAIze™
Cognitive health is often the last thing we think about until something feels off. But what if we could catch the early signs of memory decline before they spiral into something more serious?
At Prologue, we’re proud to be one of the first few clinics in Singapore to offer ReCOGnAIze™, a new AI-powered tool designed to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI)—an early indicator of dementia—in as little as 15 minutes.
ReCOGnAIze™ was developed by Gray Matter Solutions, a spin-off from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), in collaboration with the Dementia Research Centre at NTU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. This tool is the result of over 125,000 hours of research and clinical trials with more than 1,500 patients. It brings innovation, prevention, and accessibility together to transform the way we approach brain health.
Dementia doesn’t happen overnight.
For many, it begins with subtle shifts, such as forgetting appointments, repeating questions, or struggling to concentrate. These early symptoms often go unnoticed—or worse, dismissed as “just ageing.”
But mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can be a powerful turning point. Studies show that up to 45% of dementia cases can be delayed or improved through timely lifestyle changes. Early screening gives you a head start on protecting your brain, your independence, and your future.
In Asia, where chronic conditions like hypertension are on the rise, identifying cognitive changes early offers a vital opportunity to make timely interventions and maintain quality of life.
ReCOGnAIze™ is a digital screening tool that uses artificial intelligence to assess brain function with nearly 90% accuracy. It identifies signs of mild cognitive impairment using neuroscience-backed tasks that evaluate:
- Working memory
- Attention and focus
- Executive function
- Decision-making skills
The best part? It’s non-invasive, digital, and done in under 15 minutes—no scans, no lengthy questionnaires.
What sets ReCOGnAIze™ apart from other tools is its blend of accessibility and precision.
Traditional cognitive tests can be time-consuming or require clinical supervision, whereas ReCOGnAIze™ is quick, intuitive, and supported by robust clinical research. It makes high-quality cognitive screening more approachable—and more scalable—for everyone.
The screening is conducted on a tablet using four specially designed cognitive games.
You might be asked to remember a grocery list, match patterns, or solve simple decision-making tasks. Behind the scenes, a robust algorithm analyses your performance to spot signs of early cognitive decline.
Once complete, our doctor will review the results with you and guide you on the next steps, which may involve monitoring, lifestyle adjustments, or further testing.
If your screening suggests mild cognitive impairment, we offer gentle, supportive follow-up strategies tailored to your lifestyle. This could include nutrition and sleep planning, brain-boosting movement sessions, or additional lab testing—all designed to help you stay mentally vibrant for years to come.
Early screening isn’t just for seniors or those with visible memory issues. ReCOGnAIze™ is for anyone who wants to take a proactive step toward cognitive health, including:
- Individuals with a family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s
- Adults noticing slight memory lapses or mental fog
- People in high-stress or cognitively demanding roles
- Anyone seeking to age well and stay mentally sharp
Just like cholesterol or blood pressure, brain health deserves a regular check-in, no matter your age.

What Is Breast Density, and Why Does It Matter?
Dense breasts have more glandular and fibrous tissue, which can make it harder for 2D mammograms to detect cancer. If you have dense breasts, your doctor may recommend:
- A 3D mammogram
- A supplemental ultrasound
Ask us about 3D options during your next visit.
