Dual-task turn velocity - a novel digital biomarker for mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Disorders associated with cognitive impairment impose a significant burden on both families and society. Previous studies have indicated that gait characteristics under dual-task as reliable markers of early cognitive impairment. Therefore, digital gait detection has great potential for future cognitive screening. However, research on digital biomarkers based on smart devices to identify cognitive impairment remains limited. The aim of this study is to explore digital gait biomarkers by utilizing intelligent wearable devices for discriminating mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

Methods

This study included 122 subjects (age: 74.7 ± 7.7 years) diagnosed with normal cognition (NC, n = 38), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n = 42), or dementia (n<
