A web based application for the collection and normative analysis of neuropsychological test data

Abstract

Accurate analysis and interpretation of neuropsychological test scores are critical for clinical practice and research. However, the complexity and variability of these tests often make it difficult to collect consistent data and perform meaningful normative comparisons, partic- ularly with culturally diverse populations. This work introduces a web- based application, currently under development, for collecting, storing, and analyzing neuropsychological test scores from diverse studies. The application allows the user to upload data from a study, conduct searches, and perform normative comparisons based on all submitted samples. For normative comparisons, the application classifies a patient’s test scores against existing values in the database, allowing users to evaluate subject data against normative values and determine if they lie within typical ranges. A central aspect to the development is the database system, which requires a dynamic and scalable structure to accommodate a wide range of tests and parameters. This article also outlines the key design considerations for the database and addresses the challenges of structur- ing neuropsychological data for both flexibility and analytical accuracy. The web application aims to simplify the data management while offeri
