Abstract

BACKGROUND: The rising prevalence of dementia necessitates a scalable solution to cognitive screening. Paper-based cognitive screening examinations are well-validated but minimally scalable. If a digital cognitive screening examination could replicate paper-based screening, it may improve scalability while potentially maintaining the performance of these well-validated paper-based tests. Here, we evaluate the Rapid Online Cognitive Assessment (RoCA), a remote and self-administered digital cognitive screening examination.
