The secret is in the design.
For more than 25 years, researchers have examined the requirements for a cognitive test that can accurately predict driving performance without testing drivers on the road. DriveSafe DriveAware has been designed specifically to these requirements, and has been used internationally by clinicians since 2015.
DriveSafe DriveAware is an industry-leading, iPad-administered, standardised driving assessment tool providing clinicians with quantitative results.
The tool is affordable and can be administered effectively and efficiently by general practitioners, practice nurses, psychologists, occupational therapists and other health professionals.
Take a look at this video to see how the tool can be administered in 4 easy steps!
Hear what leading clinicians have to say about DriveSafe DriveAware…
“DriveSafe DriveAware is a fast, accurate, reliable, reproducible and easily applied tool to assess judgement of drivers that might be affected by cognitive impairment. Though focused on whether a person is safe to drive, it has wider application in assessing judgement for all those suspected of cognitive impairment including dementia and concussion assessment providing the subject has been a driver.”
Professor Emeritus Michael Kerin Morgan AO, DSc MD FRACS
“DriveSafe DriveAware is a cognitive screening tool that I find very useful as a community-based occupational therapist transport assessor, being portable. It provides me with a standardised evidence base in conjunction with a functional on-road driver assessment to better recommend medical fitness to drive outcomes for clients. It has great face validity for clients. I find the green, yellow and red predictive graphics to be very helpful during client debrief sessions, following an on-road assessment.”
Shelley Beckert, Occupational Therapist, Transport Assessor, Driver Trained OT; NZROT; PGDip, DriveMed NZ
“I recommend the use of DriveSafe DriveAware whenever there are concerns about driving competence. As a neuropsychologist, I find it adds great value to my psychometric assessment of cognition,and its user-friendly iPad testing interface which presents everyday driving scenarios helps me communicate feedback in a meaningful way to the client, their family, and referring clinicians.”
Greg Savage MSc(Clin Neuro) PhD FCCN, Professor of Neuropsychology, Macquarie University/MQ Health
An accurate, standardised predictive tool.
DriveSafe DriveAware is the only widely used tool that can predict with a high degree of accuracy how a driver may perform in an on-road driving test.
Read about the research that has shown DriveSafe DriveAware to consistently deliver accurate results.
Used by clinicians internationally.
The DriveSafe DriveAware iPad application is being used by general practitioners/family doctors, psychologists, occupational therapists, geriatric medical professionals, neurosurgeons and other clinicians in Australia, New Zealand and Asia. We have plans to release a European and US version in 2024/5.
Easy to use and affordable.
The DriveSafe DriveAware iPad application visually presents real-world driving scenarios and assesses a driver’s ability to cognitively process the information efficiently and effectively. An individual report summarises the driver’s results at a low per test cost, making the tool an affordable alternative to on road assessment.
