The Sensory Examination Capsule: Simultaneous Testing of Multiple Sensory Organs

Abstract

Sensory disorders are one of the most common problems in modern society, affecting both communication and quality of life. Most of these disorders can be avoided by performing regular screening tests and minimising risk factors. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the modern techniques built into the Sensory Examination Capsule for testing most of the senses. This new screening tool has the potential to significantly reduce the costs associated with health care by providing earlier and more accurate medical diagnoses.

Sensitivity and specificity of hearing tests for screening hearing loss in older adults

“…There were many existing programs with integrated tests. For example, an examination capsule with screening tools was designed to test multi-sense ( Skarzynski et al., 2021 ), and the ICOPE screening tool covered six relevant conditions of the intrinsic capacity ( World Health Organization, 2019 ). On the basis of the existing programs with interred tests, we planned to append cognitive screening to the following program for the correlation of cognition and hearing screening.…”
