What is the MoCA?
The MoCA is a quick, 10‑minute screening tool that detects mild cognitive dysfunction earlier and more sensitively than the classic MMSE. In a single page of structured tasks, it samples multiple brain domains and scores them on a 30‑point scale, giving your care team a fast, standardized snapshot of cognitive health.
What does the MoCA measure?
- Attention & concentration
- Executive function & conceptual thinking
- Short‑term memory recall
- Language & verbal fluency
- Visuospatial / constructional skills (e.g., clock drawing)
- Calculations & abstraction
- Orientation to time and place
Why might someone need this test?
- Early screening for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia risk
- Baseline evaluation after head trauma, stroke, or neuroinflammatory illness
- Quick check‑ins for patients managing CIRS/Lyme, Parkinson’s, cardiovascular, or metabolic conditions where cognition can drift
- Objective measure before more in‑depth diagnostics or as part of annual brain‑health check‑ups
What is it like to take this test?
- Sit with a Rezilir team member—either in clinic or via secure telehealth.
- Complete a series of brief tasks: connect alternating letters/numbers, copy a cube, draw a clock, recall words, answer orientation questions, and more.
- Wrap‑up in ~10 minutes. Your score is tallied on the spot, so feedback is immediate.
How does this test fit into your care at Rezilir?
MoCA is our first‑pass cognitive vital sign. A healthy score confirms you’re on track; a dip tells us to dig deeper with volumetric MRI, CNS Vital Signs, or QEEG—then tailor interventions before problems snowball.How We Use the Results
- Flag subtle MCI for proactive lifestyle and metabolic corrections.
- Track cognitive trends every 3–6 months during detox, hormone, or brain‑training programs.
- Correlate with NeuroQuant MRI volumes to see how structure and function align.
