Mobile memory gas station: A valid phone screen for cognitive impairment

Background Conventional neuropsychological assessments for cognitive impairment are burdensome. We developed a novel Wechat applet detecting impairment. The Mobile Memory Gas Station is an assessment tool rapid screening of functions, covering 7 important domains (memory, attention, executive function, language, visuospatial skills, social cognition, and computing). Method 102 patients were recruited (Normal control: 51; mild impairment: 32, dementia: 19) to detect the diagnostic ability this applet. Result Compared conventional assessments, results in faster evaluations (10 min) generates higher accuracy at abnormal cognition. Our Results showed that had good correlation with MMSE (P < 0.01), MoCA (P< 0.01) moderate agreement MCI dementia. Conclusion This demonstrated sufficient psychometric properties be useful MCI, especially when clinic visits not feasible. These findings instrumental patient screening, monitoring management.
