Reliability and Validity of Smartphone Cognitive Testing for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is relatively rare, behavioral and motor symptoms increase travel burden, and standard neuropsychological tests are not sensitive to early-stage disease. Remote smartphone-based cognitive assessments could mitigate these barriers to trial recruitment and success, but no such tools are validated for FTLD.

Objective

To evaluate the reliability and validity of smartphone-based cognitive measures for remote FTLD evaluations.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study conducted from January 10, 2019, to July 31, 2023, controls and participants with FTLD performed smartphone application (app)-based executive functioning tasks and an associative memory task 3 times over 2 weeks. Observational research participan
