Tailored Assessments for a Complete Health Profile
Our comprehensive clinical assessment is designed to deliver in-depth evaluations of both your cognitive and physical functions. In addition to a thorough physical exam conducted by our physicians, you will undergo a series of exams, interviews, and tests curated by a team of certified medical experts, including physicians, neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, dietitians, and nurses.
This approach ensures a thorough evaluation of your current health status, providing our medical team with a comprehensive understanding of your unique health profile.
Your Evaluations
Cognitive Evaluations
- The cognitive assessment consists of a certified neuropsychologist intake, as well as different cognitive assessment batteries. These tests ensure a thorough evaluation of your cognitive capabilities in the various domains.
- Attention: Your level of alertness and ability to attend to targets and disregard noise Information processing speed: How quickly you process information
- Memory: The level at which you encode and recall information
- Executive functions: Your ability to apply information, compare, and make sound judgments
- Spatial skills: How you lean on visual cues and senses to make decisions
Advanced Brain Imaging
- Imaging studies enable our physicians to visually interpret the anatomical structures in your brain. We capture MRI and/or SPECT images as prescribed by our physicians.
- Provide insights into the structure of your brain
- Facilitate the identification or exclusion of abnormalities
- Detect subtle signs associated with age-related decline
Physical & Nutritional Evaluations
- Our thorough physical & nutritional assessment battery involves comprehensive evaluations, a physical therapist interview identifying your needs, abilities and goals. Additionally, a dietitian interview explores your dietary habits & goals.
- Extensive blood tests
- Cardiopulmonary and Respiratory evaluations
- Balance and flexibility evaluations
- GAIT analysis
- Body composition analysis

Cognitive Function Tests
Your cognitive test batteries may encompass the following cohesive assessments: Neurotrax, a computerized test for cognitive evaluation employed in both research and clinical settings; CNS Vital Signs, a widely utilized computerized battery for cognitive assessment in clinical contexts; and CANTAB, the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery, seamlessly administered on a tablet.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A noninvasive method that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the brain. The image is highly detailed and can show even the smallest abnormality. When evaluating brain anatomy, we look for abnormalities which may or may not be normal for your age.
-
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests (CPET)
During the CPET, each breath is measured to assess how the body is performing. We measure the amount of O2 you inhale (VO2) as well as the amount of CO2 you exhale (VCO2). The capacity and power of the lungs is measured by the ventilation of both gasses per minute. As part of the test heart tracing (ECG) and blood pressure are recorded as well. The information gathered helps our team to create a tailored and individualized exercise program that will set you up to succeed physically.

What's next?
Upon completion of this assessment process our medical team will prescribe a personalized program of follow up appointments and activities that will supplement your hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions and help you make the most of your time with our program.
After treatment, we’ll carry out the same assessment to measure your improvements with complete accuracy.
