We have yet to realise reconciliation between metrology in the physical sciences and measurement practices in the social sciences. Here, we build on our previous arguments by proposing a psychometric methodology to support metrology in the social sciences. This will be exemplified in the European EMPIR NeuroMet 15HLT04 project, part of which exploits causal Rasch models, novel construct specification equations, and subsequent improved patient centred cognition measurement in support of healthcare and policy decision-making in Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the programme’s goal of forming key stakeholder networks, including clinicians, instrument manufactures, biopharma, national and international organisations, will ensure consistent uptake of the new measurement methods.
