How Intelligence Works Consortium

Health Professionals

Understand cognition in the context of health and everyday functioning.

Health professionals see how illness, fatigue, pain, medication, treatment, sleep and emotional load can change what a person is able to do. Your expertise can help HIW study those changes responsibly and evaluate what kinds of support are useful in practice.

How you can contribute

Pilot new assessment tools

Test tools in practice and provide structured feedback on usability and interpretation.

Participate in validation studies

Help validate models, instruments and observation approaches in real settings.

Contribute clinical observations

Share anonymous, ethically governed observations and insights where appropriate.

Evaluate practical usefulness

Help us understand whether new models support better decisions, communication and care.

Together we can improve the scientific foundations of intelligence assessment. Clinical collaboration should strengthen evidence without weakening consent, privacy, dignity or professional standards.

Our shared mission

We believe intelligence should not only be measured. It should be understood.

By taking part, you are helping build the scientific foundations for a better understanding of how intelligence works in real life — across people, tasks, environments, support, health, technology and society.
