i-Function® and Lunavi Launch LASSI-D™ Platform to Enable Early Detection of Cognitive Decline

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- i-Function^®, a company focused on cognitive health and independent living, has partnered with Lunavi, a leading digital solutions provider, to bring the LASSI-D™ (Loewenstein-Acevedo Scales of Semantic Interference and Learning – Digital) to market. This innovative digital tool enables earlier and more accessible detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimer's disease.

LASSI-D™ transforms cognitive screening by replacing costly and time-intensive tests with a cloud-native, AI-enabled platform. Designed for both clinical and remote use, the tool incorporates high-accuracy voice recognition, multilingual support, and automated scoring to identify subtle cognitive changes before traditional measures can. It's backed by research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and represents a major step forward in digital health screening.

"Early detection is key to managing cognitive decline, and with LASSI-D™, we're addressing a major gap in current screening practices," said Peter Kallestrup, Co-Founder and CEO of i-Function^®. "Partnering with Lunavi allowed us to take a proven clinical method and reimagine it for scale, accessibility, and ease of use. We're proud to offer a tool that makes timely intervention possible for millions more people."

Lunavi's role was critical in converting the original paper-based LASSI-L assessment into a scalable digital solution. The company delivered a secure Microsoft Azure-based environment and integrated leading speech-to-text technologies from Google and Azure to enhance voice recognition accuracy to over 99%. Lunavi also employed agile development practices to rapidly iterate and incorporate real-time user feedback.

"i-Function^® came to us with a compelling vision: to make early cognitive screening more accessible and effective," said Sam Galeotos, CEO of Lunavi. "Through our full-stack expertise and collaborative approach, we helped bring that vision to life. LASSI-D™ is a solution with the power to make a real difference in people's lives."

As cognitive health becomes an increasing public health priority, the LASSI-D™ platform represents a timely and impactful innovation. By combining clinically validated methodology with cutting-edge technology, i-Function^® and Lunavi are enabling healthcare professionals to deliver better outcomes through earlier detection and intervention.
