Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
Introduction Computerized assessments are becoming widely accepted in the clinical setting and as a potential outcome measure in clinical trials. To gain patient perspectives of this experience, the aim of the present study was to investigate patient attitudes and perceptions of the Cognigram [Cogstate], a computerized cognitive assessment. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 older adults undergoing a computerized cognitive assessment at the University of British Columbia Hospital Clinic for Alzheimer Disease and Related Disorders. Thematic analysis was applied to identify key themes and relationships within the data. Results The analysis resulted in three categories: attitudes toward computers in healthcare, the cognitive assessment process, and evaluation of the computerized assessment experience. The results show shared views on the need for balance between human and computer intervention, as well as room for improvement in test design and utility. Discussion Careful design and user-testing should be made a priority in the development of computerized assessment interfaces, as well as reevaluating the cognitive assessment process to minimize patient anxiety and discomfort. Future research should move toward continuous data capture within clinical trials and ensuring instruments of high reliability to reduce variance.

How this study scored 45/100
Published in a leading specialty journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 26 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 45 out of 100.
