Science I – VVT 3.0 Screening in comparison
In a comparison of the psimistri procedure “VVT 3.0 Screening” with the two standard tests “Uhrentest” and “MMSE”, the VVT 3.0 performs almost as well as the other two, with a shorter test duration.

Science II – VVT 3.0 subtest “delayed recall” is promising in dementia prediction
The psimistri procedure “VVT 3.0” with the new subtest “delayed recall” showed positive initial results in the early detection of dementia. See“Knechtl P, Lehrner J. Visuoconstructional Abilities of Patients With Subjective Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease. J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol. 2023 Jan 11:8919887221135549. doi: 10.1177/08919887221135549. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 36630660.”
Science III – NTBV used in mortality study
A study on mortality in people over the age of 50 has shown that mortality is dependent on homocysteine status and that cognitive factors, measured using the psimistri method “NTBV”, play a role. See“I.B. Futschek, E. Schernhammer, H. Haslacher, E. Stogmann, J. Lehrner: Homocysteine – A predictor for five year-mortality in patients with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s dementia“Subjects wanted:The Department of Neurology at the Medical University of Vienna is looking for subjects (healthy control persons) for various studies. The information can be forwarded to relatives, friends and acquaintances.
