  1. Uncovering Social States in Healthy and Clinical Populations Using Digital Phenotyping and Hidden Markov Models: Observational Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Journal of medical Internet research 2025-04-28 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We primarily reported results from a 2-state HMM but also verified results in HMMs with more hidden states and trained on the whole participant dataset.

  2. Menopausal hormone therapy is associated with worse levels of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in APOE ε4-carrying women: An observational study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-01-09 Biomarkers

    The presence of both APOE ε4 and MHT may be associated with elevated amyloid deposition and AD pathology in this sample of participants who demonstrated high familial AD risk.

  3. Validation of a rapid remote digital test for impaired cognition using clinical dementia rating and mini-mental state examination: An observational research study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Frontiers in digital health 2022-12-21 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Digital screening tests such as M-CogScore are desirable to aid in rapid and remote clinical cognitive evaluations.

  4. Assessment of Social Behavior Using a Passive Monitoring App in Cognitively Normal and Cognitively Impaired Older Adults: Observational Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. JMIR aging 2022-05-20 Cognitive tests and assessment

    CI individuals show reduced social activity, especially those activities that are related to repeated and unique behavior, as measured by the smartphone app Behapp.

  5. Role of inflammation in cognitive impairment: results of observational epidemiological studies and clinical trials

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 2010-10-01 Genetics

    Inflammation may be an important mechanism underlying dementia and cognitive decline in the elderly.

  6. Cortical morphology in children and adolescents with different apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms: an observational study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. The Lancet. Neurology 2007-06-01 Genetics

    Cortical thickness of the left entorhinal region was significantly thinner in epsilon4 carriers than it was in non-epsilon4 carriers (3.79 [SE 0.06] mm, range 1.54-5.24 vs 3.94 [0.03] mm, 2.37-6.11; p=0.03).
