Annual Wellness Visits are designed to identify early signs of disease and promote preventive care. For many adults—particularly those with diabetes, hypertension, or metabolic syndrome—vascular and autonomic dysfunction develop silently, often before symptoms emerge. The TM Flow System provides a practical, in-office way to measure these changes and translate preventive care into quantifiable, actionable data.

Mild forgetfulness, slower recall, or reduced multitasking ability are common concerns in aging patients. Distinguishing normal aging from early cognitive decline can be difficult, especially when symptoms fluctuate or depend on patient and family interpretation. The COGNISION® System provides objective data that helps clinicians track cognitive stability over time and document physiologic changes directly from the exam room.

Setup with the COGNISION® System takes only five to ten minutes, and the test is completed in about an hour in any standard exam room. Reports are generated immediately, so results can be reviewed and documented during the same encounter. Because the headset is comfortable and technician training is straightforward, repeating the test at intervals is feasible without disrupting patient flow. This enables trending results across months or years.

The TM Flow System incorporates ankle-brachial index into its multimodal physiologic testing. By integrating plethysmography-based ABI with sudomotor and autonomic assessments, it allows clinicians to capture large-vessel perfusion data in the same session that evaluates neuropathic contributions. This integration is particularly valuable in patients with diabetes or metabolic syndrome, where neuropathy and vascular disease frequently coexist.

Cognitive complaints often emerge gradually, with patients or families describing memory lapses, reduced concentration, or slower thinking. Distinguishing normal age-related change from evolving impairment is difficult at a single visit. Screening instruments are useful but can be influenced by mood, education, or patient effort. Longitudinal monitoring is essential, yet many primary care practices lack objective tools to track change over time.

Peripheral arterial disease often progresses silently until patients present with advanced ischemic symptoms. Many cases remain undiagnosed because claudication is subtle or absent, and physical exam alone lacks sensitivity. Missed detection carries serious consequences: PAD is a marker of systemic atherosclerosis and is strongly associated with elevated cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Identifying disease before it becomes symptomatic allows clinicians to intervene earlier with medical therapy, lifestyle modification, and risk reduction.

For aging patients with early cognitive concerns, the COGNISION® System provides a standardized, in-office ERP/EEG assessment that augments clinical judgment. Results support documentation, guide follow-up decisions, and track changes over time. With brief setup and a technician-friendly workflow, testing can be incorporated into routine visits or dedicated cognitive evaluations without disrupting patient flow.

By consolidating vascular and neuropathic testing into a single, noninvasive protocol, The TM Flow System helps clinicians resolve diagnostic uncertainty more quickly. It supports a structured approach to lower extremity complaints, clarifies when to escalate vascular or neurologic evaluation, and improves documentation. In patients where neuropathy and vascular disease overlap, it encourages parallel management and prevents under-recognition of either pathology. In short, it provides the clarity necessary to separate neuropathic pain from vascular insufficiency and to guide care on the first encounter.

Early cognitive complaints often present as slowed thinking, reduced mental stamina, or difficulty with divided attention. Screening tools are useful, yet they are influenced by education, language, and patient engagement. In a primary care clinic, you need objective physiology you can obtain in the exam room and integrate directly into the chart. The COGNISION System delivers ERP and EEG testing that translates subjective complaints into actionable data for diagnosis and ongoing care.

Patients with chronic conditions often present with leg discomfort that may reflect either neuropathy or vascular disease. Numbness, burning, tingling, or exertional pain can arise from small fiber neuropathy or peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The overlap is especially common in diabetes and metabolic syndrome, where microvascular compromise and neuropathy frequently coexist. Distinguishing between these conditions is clinically important: PAD carries major implications for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, while neuropathy reflects neural injury that requires a different management approach.

By integrating the COGNISION System into concussion follow‑up visits you replace guesswork with quantifiable brain‑function data. Objective ERP/EEG results let you tailor recovery plans, document readiness to return, and reassure patients that their concerns are being measured, not just heard.

The TM Flow System allows you to differentiate between SFN and PAD at the point of care, ensuring that patients receive the right diagnosis and appropriate follow-up. In a clinical landscape where overlapping symptoms can cloud judgment, this tool brings data to the forefront—sharpening your ability to treat with confidence.
