What is Metrisquare?

The origin of Metrisquare begins in 2008. The digitalisation of neuropsychological tests was still unknown territory for many at the time. We took up this challenge and developed our first product: the DigiDiag testsystem (formerly: DiagnoseIS). Researchers from several countries had interest in this concept and joined our Metrisquare community. They contributed to digital test development which would later on be available through DigiDiag.

The community is a source of inspiration for innovative new developments. We invite researchers (and clinicians) to join our community but also, invite clinicians to use our tests in their daily assessment. Metrisquare tests are owned by their authors. Authors choose what they want to do with a test. They can share them free of charge with specific people or other clinicans, but they also have the possibility to charge a license fee for usage.

What tests do you offer?

You can see for yourself on our testindex.

What will an account give me access to?

You can be member of our community and register on www.metrisquare.nl/join

The account gives access to the software of Metrisquare where you can ask permission to use several tests from authors.

How does the software work?

If you want to use a test for assessment which is designed for tablet usage we would recommend downloading the software. The software supports an examinor screen and a subject screen. The subject screen will automatically be visible when a tablet is connected to the computer as a second screen through HDMI.

Which tablet do I need?

In theory you can use any screen or tablet, as long as it is connected to a Windows computer.

However, it is important to check whether there can be consequences to the validity of the norms. Most of the research on the Metrisquare platform, has been conducted in combination with a Wacom tablet. Furthermore, we recommend the Wacom tablet, because its digital inking pen reacts very intuitively, the tablet presents natural colours, it is robust and even available in A3 size (11.7 x 16.5 inch). In case you are considering developing a test of your own in the Metrisquare platform, you can choose the computer and screen, but one of the advantages of our solution is that it contributes to standardisation of testing procedures. Therefore, we try to limit the amount of different devices used in the platform.

Can I use Metrisquare or DigiDiag for assessment or research?

Yes. Metrisquare is the name of our online community platform. In this platform members are able to take tests with subjects. The software is tested with a Wacom tablet, we would recommend using the software in combination with this.
