Cognitive assessment is an assessment of one's information processing and psychological functions. It helps in defining, assessing, and focusing on individual needs more effectively. The analysis after this assessment can be used for various functions such as early detection of dementia among people from multiple age groups, cognitive training of individuals, or for effective concussion management of sports and defense personnel.

For more than 20 years, the number of people with dementia has increased continually; dementia is expected to remain as one of the major deadly diseases in the world. To tackle this situation, the number of inexpensive cognitive tests is expected to increase significantly in the coming years; these tests are capable of identifying symptoms of dementia at a very early stage. Also, applications such as effective classroom teaching, academic research and employers' assessment, and training have been gaining traction in the recent years. Together, these factors are expected to lead the growth of the adoption of cognitive assessment and training tools globally.

A number of other factors such as the growth in aging population, accessibility of such tests, global research investment, and increase in healthcare spending are expected to remain the major drivers behind the increased adoption of cognitive assessment and training tools.
