COGSCREEN, LLC
ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

Founded by Dr. Gary Kay in August 2010, COGSCREEN, LLC is an established provider renowned for its cutting-edge cognitive screening tools, primarily CogScreen- and CogScreen-AE. Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, the company has cemented its reputation through a deep-rooted history of neurological research and innovative developments. Dr. Kay's background as Director of the Neuropsychology Division at Georgetown University’s Department of Neurology is reflected in COGSCREEN's approach to developing computerized methods for cognitive assessment. These tools are designed to detect subtle changes in attention, memory, visual perception, problem-solving capabilities, and executive functions—a critical aspect highlighted by its adoption by federal agencies like the FAA. The flagship product, CogScreen-, was conceptualized to address the FAA's need for an instrument capable of identifying nuanced shifts in cognitive function that could impact aviation safety. The extended version, CogScreen-AE, fulfills FAA requirements by assessing perceptual and information processing abilities integral to pilot performance without focusing on specific flying skills. COGSCREEN’s commitment to precision is further exemplified through its application in evaluating the effects of various medications on cognitive functions, aligning with Dr. Kay's expertise in researching neuro-psychological impacts of substances like sedating antihistamines and hormone replacement therapies. As a Florida entity, COGSCREEN, LLC operates under a structured corporate model as an FLAL company since incorporation. With registration details reflecting consistent compliance (e.g., last annual report filed on February 18, 2024), it's directed by Dr. Gary Kay, who continues to drive its research and development initiatives. The organization’s services extend beyond aviation into diverse medical fields, underscoring its broad impact in enhancing healthcare diagnostics through cognitive evaluation technology.
