Discriminant Power of Smartphone-Derived Keystroke Dynamics for Mild Cognitive Impairment Compared to a Neuropsychological Screening Test: Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Conventional neuropsychological screening tools for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) face challenges in terms of accuracy and practicality. Digital health solutions, such as unobtrusively capturing smartphone interaction data, offer a promising alternative. However, the potential of digital biomarkers as a surrogate for MCI screening remains unclear, with few comparisons between smartphone interactions and existing screening tools.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of smartphone-derived keystroke dynamics, captured via the Neurokeys keyboard app, in distinguishing patients with MCI from healthy controls (HCs). This study also compared the discriminant performance of these digital biomarkers against the Korean version of the Montreal Cognit
