PENSIEVE-AI a brief cognitive test to detect cognitive impairment across diverse literacy.

ABSTRACT: Undiagnosed cognitive impairment is a pervasive global issue, often due to subtle nature of early symptoms, necessitating the use of brief cognitive tests for early detection. However, most brief tests are not scalable (requiring trained professionals), and are not designed for lower literacy groups (e.g. in underserved communities). Here, we developed PENSIEVE-AI^TM, a drawing-based digital test that is less dependent on literacy, and can be self-administered in <5 min. In a prospective study involving 1758 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 and older from Singapore (education range = 0-23 years), our deep-learning model showed excellent performance in detecting clinically-adjudicated mild cognitive impairment and dementia (AUC = 93%), comparable to traditional neuropsycholo
