Abstract

The aim of this review is to determine whether automated tests accurately identify patients with progressive cognitive impairment and if so, their role in monitoring disease progression or response to treatment. Specifically the research objectives are to; 1. determine the performance of automated computerised tests, in detecting mild cognitive impairment and early dementia. 2. determine the performance of automated computerised tests in the monitoring of the disease post-diagnosis, specifically in detecting disease progression. 3. identify future research needs.

Aims

The purpose of this research is to identify studies that have compared these new computerised tests to the current method of diagnosis to see if they work, and if they do work, can they also monitor changes in the individual’s memory and ability to think.
