SIMARD MD

The SIMARD MD (an acronym for Screen for the Identification of Cognitively Impaired Medically At-Risk Drivers, A Modification of the DemTect) is a valid and reliable screening tool for the identification of cognitively impaired medically at-risk drivers [1]. It is called a modification of the DemTect because it uses a subset of the items from that screening tool [2].

The SIMARD MD was developed and validated against actual driving performance using a driving evaluation scientifically developed to identify cognitively impaired drivers who are unsafe-to-drive.
