Memory self-test via smartphone can identify early signs of Alzheimer's disease

Dedicated memory tests on smartphones enable the detection of "mild cognitive impairment," a condition that may indicate Alzheimer's disease, with high accuracy. Researchers from DZNE, the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg and the University of Wisconsin-Madison who collaborated with the Magdeburg-based company Neotiv report these findings in npj Digital Medicine. Their study is based on data from 199 older adults.
