POTUS Cognitive Test Creators Introduce MoCA-XpressO for Public Use

Published

on

MONTREAL, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – MoCA Cognition, the company behind the world’s leading test for early detection of cognitive impairment—the Montreal Cognitive Assessment or MoCA Test—is announcing the US public release of its new “XpressO by MoCA” self-assessment app for the general population.

For the public concerned with their cognitive performance, or that of a loved one, MoCA Cognition offers the scientifically validated “XpressO by MoCA” app—a rapid cognitive self-assessment tool that can predict performance on the MoCA Test and suggest when to consult with a healthcare professional. 

The XpressO by MoCA app was developed in response to growing needs of primary care to detect cognitive impairment, quickly and accurately. This is particularly important considering our aging population, limited public care resources, and new Alzheimer’s Disease treatments coming available. Validation studies have demonstrated an approximately 85% accuracy in predicting a MoCA score in the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) range. Notably, recent FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatments specifically require early diagnosis of a patient, still in the MCI range, for eligibility.

 “Early detection permits earlier intervention that saves major healthcare costs and improves patient outcomes. Demand for cognitive testing is growing, both among seniors with normal brain health and with impairment. XpressO was conceived to provide peace of mind to the ‘worried well’ and motivation to consult with a physician for others,” explained Dr. Nasreddine, neurologist and MoCA Cognition CEO.

About MoCA Cognition

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoCA Test, created by Dr. Ziad Nasreddine was recently ranked number 1 among 53 cognitive screening tests for early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease (Outcome Measures for Alzheimer’s Disease: A global inter-societal Delphi consensus. Alzheimer’s and Dementia. 2023).

Along with his continued dedication to patients at his high-volume memory clinic, Dr. Nasreddine leads MoCA Cognition, a research and innovation-focused company driven to deliver the next generation of cognitive screening solutions. Our mission is fueled by our passionate belief that everyone deserves a memorable life. To learn more about MoCA Cognition, visit www.mocacognition.com

The pioneering brand making foam products with algae and recycled foam has cleaned over 1m+ gallons of water, removed 1.3k+ tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and removed 7.9k+ pounds of plastic from the ocean.

NAPLES, Fla., Jan. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Oceanfoam, an active lifestyle brand committed to sustainability, announces it has achieved a carbon positive status going into 2025. A newcomer in the fitness and wellness industry, the sustainable company is poised to continue simultaneously revolutionizing the fitness industry and helping the planet, making a significant environmental impact and raising awareness. The company designs fitness products made with Bloom algae and recycled material. In addition to foam rollers, Oceanfoam has released workout and yoga mats, wave ball rollers and workout blocks.

By prioritizing sustainability in the development of each item, Oceanfoam has made a significant environmental impact. The brand has cleaned over 1,026,896 gallons of water, removed 1,319.91 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and removed 7,947 pounds of plastic from the ocean. The algae used is harvested from North America’s overabundant supply (due to the rise of global temperatures), thus helping to clean the water and reduce the amount of carbon released into the air.

“We’ve been working on this for a year since we launched and Oceanfoam is now officially carbon positive!,” said Founder Zachary Quinn. “We believe products can be more than objects. Foam rollers live in our living rooms, bedrooms, offices, gyms and workout studios; they need to look good and make you feel good. We set out to design a foam roller that you didn’t have to put in your closet, and now we’ve made it one that you can be proud of.”

Oceanfoam achieved its carbon positive status through the following:

Algae-Based Materials: Producing products with Bloom Materials reduces plastic consumption while capturing carbon and cleaning water through removing algae from the environment.Carbon Offsetting: Partnering with Climate Partner, the team offset the remaining carbon emissions from all of its production and shipping to ensure its operations go beyond carbon neutrality.Ocean Plastic Cleanup: Through collaborations with 4Ocean and Ecodrive, the brand actively contributes to cleaning up plastic waste from the world’s oceans, helping to protect marine ecosystems. With every order, one pound of ocean plastic is removed.

This certification and offset will also add a “Climate Pledge Friendly” badge to all of Oceanfoam’s products on Amazon, alerting consumers of products that have sustainability features recognized by trusted certifications. For more information, visit oceanfoam.com.
