Validation and comparison of virtual reality and 3D mobile games for cognitive assessment against ACE-III in 82 young participants.

ABSTRACT: Current medical and clinical ecosystem for dementia detection is inadequate for its early detection. Traditional cognitive assessments are introduced after cognitive impairment has begun to disrupt the real-world functioning of the person. Moreover, these tools are paper-pen based and fail to replicate the real-world situations wherein the person ultimately lives, acts and grows. The lack of tools for early detection of dementia, combined with absence of reliable pharmacological cure compound the problems associated with dementia diagnosis and care. Advancement of technology has facilitated early prediction of disease like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, but hardly any such translation has been observed for dementia or cognitive impairment. Given this background, we examine the potential
