Remote and unsupervised digital memory assessments can reliably detect cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Remote unsupervised cognitive assessments have the potential to complement and facilitate cognitive assessment in clinical and research settings.

Methods

Here, we evaluate the usability, validity, and reliability of unsupervised remote memory assessments via mobile devices in individuals without dementia from the Swedish BioFINDER-2 study and explore their prognostic utility regarding future cognitive decline.

Results

Usability was rated positively; remote memory assessments showed good construct validity with traditional neuropsychological assessments and were significantly associated with tau-positron emission tomography and downstream magnetic resonance imaging measures. Memory performance at baseline was associated with future cognitive decline and pr
