About Us
"developing tools for clinicians, by clinicians to be used in clinics"
Who We Are ?
The ACEmobile team are a small collection of Academic Clinicians, engineers, researchers and volunteers who collectively support the philosophy of advancing the assessment of cognition in dementia and other clinical areas. The agreed ethos within this team is to provide tools, such as ACEmobile, for free to support this endeavour.
We hope that like minded clinicians and academics will both value the use of this tool in their own practice and look for opportunities to support its continued development by actively sharing their data back with us or by developing their own research projects which include the use of ACEmobile or which seek to support its evolution into the future.
We are the initial ACEmobile community members and look forward to its expansion with enthusiasm.

Prof John Hodges
Professor Hodges designed and developed the Addenbrooks Cognitive Examination in 2000. He has overseen two further developments, the ACE-R in 2006 and the ACE-3 in 2012 to improve the measure’s ability to detect early cognitive change associated with dementia. Professor Hodges trained in medicine and psychiatry in London, Southampton and Oxford before gravitating to Neurology and becoming enamoured by neuropsychology. In 1990, he was appointed a University Lecturer in Cambridge and in 1997 became MRC Professor of Behaviour Neurology. He currently works at Frontier’s, Neuroscience Research Australia, leading a clinical research group in frontotemporal dementia. He has written over 400 papers on aspects of neuropsychology (especially memory and languages) and dementia, plus six books.
