The development of a computerized neuropsychological examination (ECO), designed to evaluate intellectual functioning in elderly populations, is described. The examination is based on clinical and laboratory observations of cognitive functioning in normal and pathological ageing. ECO provides extensive information on attention, memory, and visuospatial and linguistic functioning, and the use of a touch screen permits the recording of reaction time and response delays. Information regarding qualitative aspects of responses is also recorded. The examination takes relatively little time given the extent of the information obtained (approximately 40 min), is highly acceptable to the elderly, and provides qualitative neuropsychological data although administered by lay interviewers. The results obtained by a normal group of 335 elderly persons aged between 60 and 100 years are discussed in relation to age and education level.

Introduction: Computerized neuropsychological tests are effective in assessing different cognitive domains, but are often limited by the need of proprietary hardware and technical staff. Web-based tests can be more accessible and flexible. We aimed to investigate validity, effects of computer familiarity, education, and age, and the feasibility of a new web-based self-administered neuropsychological test battery (Memoro) in older adults and seniors. Method: A total of 62 (37 female) participants (mean age 60.7 years) completed the Memoro web-based neuropsychological test battery and a traditional battery composed of similar tests intended to measure the same cognitive constructs. Participants were assessed on computer familiarity and how they experienced the two batteries. To properly test the factor structure of Memoro, an additional factor analysis in 218 individuals from the HUNT population was performed. Results: Comparing Memoro to traditional tests, we observed good concurrent validity (r = .49-.63). The performance on the traditional and Memoro test battery was consistent, but differences in raw scores were observed with higher scores on verbal memory and lower in spatial memory in Memoro. Factor analysis indicated two factors: verbal and spatial memory. There were no correlations between test performance and computer familiarity after adjustment for age or age and education. Subjects reported that they preferred web-based testing as it allowed them to set their own pace, and they did not feel scrutinized by an administrator. Conclusions: Memoro showed good concurrent validity compared to neuropsychological tests measuring similar cognitive constructs. Based on the current results, Memoro appears to be a tool that can be used to assess cognitive function in older and senior adults. Further work is necessary to ascertain its validity and reliability.

Aging better with ICTs: A neuropsychological recovery system (Fari
IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE), 2022
Fari is a neuropsychological recovery system that provides solutions to support early detection, diagnosis, and quality of life for patients with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. The artificial intelligent system effectively registers and interprets signs of potential dementia, to give proper care long before getting out of hand. It is based on the seven areas of cognitive function which have been summarized in a tabulated form. As people age, they get affected by Alzheimer's disease which involves memory loss and major disorientation. There is a great need to assist the patient age healthy with ICTs to improve monitoring and schedule. There is a table entitled the seven areas of cognitive function which indicates a framework on which the system falls and outlines the graphical user interface designs and all the system components. The paper includes the percentage system effectiveness after testing and the indications of Fari's medical implementation. There are different packages of Fari found on the play store and their price listing, which is cheap and affordable. Any adult can use the AI system over the age of 30, those without the dieses for early detection and those with the dieses for monitoring progression. The Fari system includes a smart wristwatch, patient's smartphone, caregiver's smartphone, doctor's smart gadget (laptop/Smartphone), and headgear to record MRI scans.
