What this helps track
Memory and recall assessments help you complete short, guided tasks designed to track recall, attention, and cognitive consistency over time.

Why it matters
Subtle changes in memory can be hard to describe in the moment. Repeating a structured assessment over weeks and months gives patients, caregivers, and care teams a clearer picture than memory alone.
What this assessment measures
Memory and recall tasks sample short-term recall, working memory, and sustained attention — the everyday cognitive functions that people most often notice shifting first. Rather than a single score, the goal is to build a personal baseline across repeated sessions so that day-to-day variability (sleep, mood, stress) can be separated from a real trend. Clinicians commonly refer to this kind of longitudinal, self-directed data as patient-reported cognitive tracking.
How it works
What a typical session looks like
Each session is short and guided end-to-end, so you can focus on the task.
- 1Sit somewhere quiet with your iPhone or iPad and open Alumina Health.
- 2The app guides you through a short warm-up so you know what to expect.
- 3Complete a mix of word-recall, delayed-recall, and pattern-memory prompts (about 3-5 minutes).
- 4Rate your alertness at the end so results can be reviewed in context.
- 5Repeat on your own schedule; weekly is a common starting cadence.
What your results show
Session summaries highlight recall accuracy, response consistency, and how today compares with your recent range. Trends become useful once you have several sessions to compare; reviewers typically look for gradual directional shifts rather than a single low or high score.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about the memory and recall assessment on Alumina Health.
Is this a diagnostic memory test?
No. Alumina Health is not a medical device and does not diagnose or rule out any condition. It is designed to help you track memory and attention consistently over time so you can bring more grounded observations into a clinical conversation.
How often should I complete a memory session?
Most people start with once a week at a similar time of day. Consistency matters more than frequency; the goal is a reliable baseline you can compare against later.
Will I get better the more I do it?
Repeated tasks may produce a small practice effect. The app uses varied prompt sets to reduce this, and reviewers focus on longer-term trends rather than single sessions.
Can a caregiver help me complete a session?
A caregiver can help set up the session and provide reminders, but the person being tracked should complete the tasks themselves so results reflect their own performance.
Should I share results with my clinician?
Yes. Bringing longitudinal summaries to a visit gives clinicians additional context beyond a single in-office snapshot. Always follow their guidance for interpretation.
