AI in neuropsychology: what it can do for your assessments

In neuropsychology, writing the report often takes longer than the testing itself. That is where AI can help, as long as you know what it does well and what it cannot do.

What AI can do for you

The history interview

During the interview, a note-taking tool transcribes what is said, then summarises it. You no longer write while the patient or their parents tell their story.

The assessment report

From the interview, your observations during testing and the results, AI can write a structured first draft of the report. You review it, check every score and adjust the interpretation. See our article on how to structure the report.

Feedback

The same assessment sometimes needs explaining to the family, the teacher or the doctor. AI can suggest a simpler version for each, which you review. See our article on school accommodations.

Following progress over time

At a new assessment, you immediately find the results and conclusions of the previous one.

What about ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is useful for anything that contains no patient data. A sheet that explains simply what an assessment is, a description of your practice, an email to a colleague about a general question.

Patient data, however, does not belong there. The consumer version is not certified to host health data. According to OpenAI's help centre, content from personal accounts may be used to train models unless you turn off the « Improve the model for everyone » setting. And no data processing agreement protects you.

Removing the name is not enough. Age, school year, occupation or a life event often make someone recognisable. The details are in our article on ChatGPT and patient data, which applies to neuropsychologists too.

Telling patients

Before using a note-taking tool, inform the patient. For a child, inform the parents, and the child in words suited to their age. Explain simply how it works and ask whether they are comfortable with it. See our article on patient consent.

You remain responsible

The French National Authority for Health (HAS) and the data protection authority (CNIL) stress this point in their February 2026 working document on AI in care. The professional checks what the tool produces and compares it with their own clinical reasoning. Responsibility remains theirs.

Where to start

1. Pick one use, the one that costs you the most time. For many neuropsychologists, that is the assessment report.
2. Choose a tool designed for health care, with certified hosting and a clear contract. Our article on choosing software sets out the criteria.
3. Inform your patients before you start.
4. Review everything the tool produces, especially at the beginning.

How Delta works

Delta is an AI assistant designed with neuropsychologists. During the interview, Delta transcribes what is said, then writes the report, taking your specialty into account. You can also dictate your observations right after testing. The report is added to the patient's record, so you find the whole history when the time comes for a new assessment. Delta also writes your neuropsychological assessment reports.

Data stays in Europe, on infrastructure certified for health data (HDS), and AI processing runs on servers located in France. The patient's name and any information that could identify them are pseudonymised before reaching the AI, no audio file is kept, and the data is never used to train models. Delta works on computer, tablet and phone. More details on the Delta for neuropsychologists page.
