  1. Psychometric Evaluation of a Tablet-Based Tool to Detect Mild Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults: Mixed Methods Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Journal of medical Internet research 2024-04-19 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The study found that the SCREEN's longer administration time and complex scoring algorithm, which is proprietary and unavailable for independent analysis, presented challenges.

  2. A novel tablet-based software for the acquisition and analysis of gaze and eye movement parameters: a preliminary validation study in Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in neurology 2023-06-15 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The idea that eye movements can reflect certain aspects of brain function and inform on the presence of neurodegeneration is not a new one.

  3. By providing evidence for or against the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the FindMyApps intervention, the results of the trial will influence national implementation of FindMyApps.

  4. Randomized controlled feasibility study of FindMyApps: first evaluation of a tablet-based intervention to promote self-management and meaningful activities in people with mild dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology 2020-06-19 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Qualitative results indicate that the FindMyApps intervention has the potential to positively influence the self-management abilities and engagement in meaningful activities of people with dementia.

  5. Validity of a Novel Touch Screen Tablet-Based Assessment for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Probable AD in Older Adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Assessment 2017-12-18 Cognitive tests and assessment

    This study aimed to develop a psychometrically valid touch screen tablet-based cognitive test battery to identify early cognitive impairment due to dementia in older adults.
