Lindsay Clark, PhD, and Sterling Johnson, PhD, examined data collected through the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP) and the German longitudinal study DELCODE, which determined that smartphone task performance could be used to identify those with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The researchers concluded that smartphone tasks completed by older adults independently may increase access to cognitive screening and provide a way to identify or monitor cognitive symptoms for further evaluation or clinical trials.
