Vista Products for Industry
Difficulties with cognition brought on by injury, illness, and exposure to stressors can lead to severe negative impacts on worker performance, safety, and readiness. These negative impacts can be particularly dangerous in stressful and high-demand situations. ANAM, a tablet- and PC-based automated cognitive test platform, is a key tool in helping measure the cognitive effects stressors can have on workers. This data can then be used to more effectively make informed, safe personnel management decisions.
Why ANAM?
ANAM and UltraMobile allow for comprehensive testing of various cognitive domains, and the comparison of those test results with baselines and normative samples. This allows caregivers and leaders to understand and track cognitive change as the result of injury, illness, exposure, or intervention among individuals and groups. In addition to insight that can be gained through comparisons to baselines and your own populations, we can also help create normative databases that will allow for even more points of comparison.
While ANAM has historically been used for evaluating cognition in a variety of clinical and research settings, it can also empower organizations to monitor the cognitive health of their workforce in a non-invasive manner. Some diverse use cases include:
Fatigue Monitoring
Candidate Selection
Performance
Examining the performance effects of supplements and interventions.
Cognitive
Examining the cognitive effects of sleep deprivation, hypoxia, physical stress, and toxic exposures.
Employee Performance
Safety Evalulation
Product Features
ANAM includes questionnaires assessing mood, general and brain injury symptoms, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and sleepiness. It also includes a library of tests designed to measure fundamental neurocognitive functions including response speed, attention/concentration, immediate and delayed memory, spatial processing, and decision processing speed and efficiency.
Our Products Are:
Proven
- ANAM has an extensive history of successful use in extreme and unconnected environments.
- ANAM has a highly diverse history of use in research studies (over 450), and has been referred to as the “gold standard” for cognitive testing.
- Vista has a long history of successful partnerships with government and private organizations.
Secure
- Options for data communication include secure transmission over networks, cloud-based data aggregation, or direct/wire-only data sharing/data extract capabilities for the most secure situations.
- All ANAM testing is conducted locally on the device. UltraMobile uses have the option for secure data transmission when protocol permits.
- All data on ANAM tablets have AES 128 or AES 256-bit encryption.
Flexible
- ANAM is available on both standard (i.e., desktop/laptop) and mobile (i.e., tablet) computing platforms.
- Administration capabilities include stand-alone, down-range (unconnected), and in small and large group environments.
- Standard batteries include “short” batteries, intended for quick evaluations, and longer, extended batteries to be used at the beginning of employment and regularly scheduled screening examinations.
- Trained users can administer tests “down range” without internet connectivity and compare to baselines previously imported from the standard ANAM platform or collected on the UltraMobile platform.
- Data storage can be customized to exactly fit your organization’s needs
Simple
- Reporting includes comparisons to norms and previous administrations (.e.g a baselines), as well as detailed reports on each cognitive test.
- ANAM tests are language-neutral and deployed with instructions that have been translated to a variety of languages. If needed in a language currently unavailable on our platform, we will work to ensure a high quality translation.
- VLS has contributed to the development of numerous normative databases, some with over 1 million members. We will work with you to ensure you have appropriate reference/normative data that fit the needs of your organization.
Comprehensive
- ANAM includes a library of over 30 cognitive tests and behavioral health questionnaires as well as access to a suite of data reporting and review tools that empower users to holistically understand employee health.
- ANAM is designed specifically for repeated use with demonstrated reliability.
History
Initially developed for the U.S. Military, ANAM has since been used to research dozens of different conditions and interventions, with millions of uses across all seven continents, as well as aboard the International Space Station.
Research
ANAM has been called the “gold standard” for cognitive testing in research looking at cognitive change. The combination of flexibility and sensitivity provided by ANAM has made it the leading product for researchers and organizations interested in measuring cognition and monitoring brain health.
