The subject-matter of the present disclosure relates to a system for performing Arabic aphasia tests on a patient. The system comprises: a testing portal device, the testing portal device in communication with a patient device and a tester device, the testing portal device configured to: receive, from the patient device, a plurality of tests presented to the patient by the patient device during testing, and a plurality of corresponding answers input to the patient device by the patient; receive, from the tester device, a plurality of marks, each mark corresponding to an answer input to the patient device indicating that the patient answered the test correctly; and generate a report indicating results of the Arabic aphasia tests based on the plurality of tests, the plurality of answers, and the plurality of marks

1. A system for performing Arabic aphasia tests on a patient, the system comprising: a testing portal device, the testing portal device in communication with a patient device and a tester device, the testing portal device configured to: receive, from the patient device, a plurality of tests presented to the patient by the patient device during testing, and a plurality of corresponding answers input to the patient device by the patient; receive, from the tester device, a plurality of marks, each mark corresponding to an answer input to the patient device indicating that the patient answered the test correctly; and generate a report indicating results of the Arabic aphasia tests based on the plurality of tests, the plurality of answers, and the plurality of marks.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the testing portal device is configured to generate an overall aphasia quotient by: calculating an aphasia quotient using AQ=(S/N)×100, where AQ is the aphasia quotient, S is a score calculated by counting a number of marks received for a subset of the plurality of tests, and N is a total number of tests within the subset of the plurality of tests; and calculating the overall aphasia quotient by calculating a mean value using respective aphasia quotients from a plurality of subsets of the plurality of tests, wherein each subset of the plurality of tests corresponds to a category of test, wherein the report includes the overall aphasia quotient and the aphasia quotient for each category of test.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the testing portal device is configured to classify automatically an aphasia subtype by comparing each aphasia quotient of a respective category of test with a respective threshold, and to classify the aphasia subtype depending on whether one or more of the aphasia quotients is below the respective threshold, wherein the report includes the automatically classified aphasia subtype.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the aphasia subtype is selected from a list including anomic aphasia, conduction aphasia, transcortical motor aphasia, Wernicke's aphasia, transcortical sensory aphasia, Broca's aphasia, isolation aphasia, and global aphasia.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein the category of tests includes Arabic apraxia screening, Arabic dysarthria screening, Arabic quick aphasia screening, Arabic comprehensive aphasia testing, Arabic naming testing, and Arabic agrammatism testing.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising the patient device, wherein the patient device is in communication with the tester device and is configured to: output a stimulus to the patient to present each of the plurality of tests; and receive an input from the patient, wherein the input includes a response to the respective test.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the stimulus is a stimulus selected from a list including an auditory stimulus and a visual stimulus.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein, when the stimulus is an auditory stimulus, the auditory stimulus includes an auditory stimulus comprises spoken Arabic.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein, when the stimulus is a visual stimulus, the visual stimulus includes a visual stimulus selected from a list including Arabic text and an image.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the input from the patient is an input selected from a list including a tactile input, and a phonetic input.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient device is configured to measure a response time, wherein the response time is a time between a first time point when a test is displayed and a second time point when a patient has finished inputted the corresponding answer.

12. The system of claim 1, further comprising the tester device, wherein the tester device is in communication with the patient device and is configured to: output, to the tester, a test of the plurality of tests that is, in real-time, being output to the patient by the patient device; output, to the tester, the answers that are, in real-time, being input by the patient to the patient device; receive an input from a tester to control the plurality of tests being presented by the patient device; and controlling the plurality of tests being presented by the patient device based on the received input from the tester.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the controlling the plurality of tests being presented by the patient device comprising a controlling action selected from a list including skipping a test, jumping a test, interrupting a test, terminating a test, and re-ordering the plurality of tests.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the tester device is configured to: receive a mark from the tester, the mark indicating that an answer to a corresponding test is correct; and send the mark to the testing portal device together with the corresponding question.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the tester device is configured to display a response time, wherein the response time includes a timer starting at a first time point, the first time point corresponding to a time when the test starts to be presented on the patient device, and wherein the tester device is configured to receive an input from the tester to stop the timer.

16. A computer-implemented method of performing Arabic aphasia tests on a patient, the method comprising: receiving, by a testing portal device from a patient device, a plurality of tests presented to a patient by the patient device during testing, and a plurality of corresponding answers input to the patient device by the patient; receiving, by the testing portal device from a tester device, a number of correct answers corresponding to the answers input to the patient device; and generating, by the testing portal device, a report based on the plurality of tests, the plurality of answers, and the number of correct answers.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the generating the report comprises generating an overall aphasia quotient by: calculating, by the testing portal device, an aphasia quotient using a formula AQ=(S/N)×100, where AQ is the aphasia quotient, S is a score calculated by counting the number of marks awarded for a subset of the plurality of tests, and N is a total number of tests within the subset of the plurality of tests; and calculating, by the testing portal device, the overall aphasia quotient by calculating a mean value using respective aphasia quotients from a plurality of subsets of the plurality of tests, wherein each subset corresponds to a category of test, wherein the report includes the overall aphasia quotient and the aphasia quotient for each category of test.

18. The method of claim 15, further comprising classifying automatically an aphasia subtype by comparing each aphasia quotient of a respective category of test with a respective threshold, and classifying the aphasia subtype depending on whether one or more of the aphasia quotients is below the respective threshold, wherein the report includes the automatically classified aphasia subtype.

19. The method of claim 14, further comprising : outputting, by the patient device, a stimulus to the patient to present each of the plurality of tests; and receiving, by the patient device, an input from the patient, wherein the input includes a response to the respective test.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method of claim 16.
