“…The MoCA total score obtained from video call assessments was the only screening result to vary from baseline to follow-up, a difference that faded when the total sample was considered. Such observation may be partially imputed to the differences on the interface used for both assessments (as it was different from baseline [face-to-face] to follow-up), but not totally, as recent studies concluded for the reliability of video call relative to face-to-face assessments in similar populations (Castanho et al, 2016;Stead & Vinson, 2019). In terms of specific cognitive measures, participants exhibited deterioration of cognitive flexibility and processing speed (indexed by longer completion times on the TMT [A and B] and fewer correctly repeated sequences on DSC), when only video call assessments were analysed.…”

Effects of restraining measures due to COVID-19: Pre- and post-lockdown cognitive status and mental health

et al. 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted all countries to adopt restraining measures to mitigate the spread of the disease. Usually, large-scale disasters tend to be accompanied by significant increases of psychological distress, depression and anxiety. Confinement measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to have similar consequences. In the present study we aim to evaluate how COVID-19 affected the overall psychological functioning of Portuguese individuals by providing a comparison of current data with status prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study sample was composed of 150 cognitively healthy participants. Results show an overall maintenance of cognitive capacities, although subjective cognitive decline complaints significantly increased during the pandemic. Regarding mental health, restraining measures culminated in an aggravation of depressive and decrease of the perceived quality of life, associated with feelings of loneliness and perceived social isolation. Finally, higher levels of pre-COVID-19 quality of life seem to play a protective role against depression and anxiety and predict less difficulties in emotion regulation, feelings of solitude and cognitive complaints. In sum, confinement due to COVID-19 implied an aggravation of the mental health of the Portuguese population, which appears to have been attenuated in those with higher pre-pandemic levels of perceived quality of life.

“…The best TeleNP evidence concerns the use of tasks that are predominantly verbal in nature [ 47 ]. This encompasses the majority of measures we have selected for use ( Table 1 ), and includes measures such as paragraph and word list learning tasks [ [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] ], verbal span/working memory tasks (such as digit span) [ [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] ], verbal fluency tasks [ [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] ], and measures of crystallized intelligence (e.g. measures of word reading and vocabulary [ [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] ]).…”

“…measures of word reading and vocabulary [ [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] ]). There is also evidence for tasks that rely upon verbal responses to visually presented stimuli, such as visual confrontation naming [ 54 , 55 ] and visuoperceptual reasoning tasks (e.g. WAIS Matrix Reasoning [ 57 , 58 ]).…”

Highlights TeleNP represents a medium through which clinical research and important clinical care can continue. We discuss benefits, challenges, and practical considerations in the use of teleNP. We describe how the Australian Epilepsy Project has adapted to the COVID-19 environment. TeleNP data acquired to date reveals deficits typical of those observed in epilepsy. TeleNP presents an opportunity to expand the reach and breadth of neuropsychological services.

“…Test results are usually given as an aggregate score and do not specify the patient's detailed performance in each of the eight dimensions of cognition: visuospatial, naming, memory, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall, and orientation 41 . These issues can be solved by integrating the cognitive tests into a mHealth application, which can also make administering these tests easier without compromising the integrity of the tests 42,43 .…”

Scoping review: the empowerment of Alzheimer’s Disease caregivers with mHealth applications

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative chronic diseases. As it progresses, patients become increasingly dependent, and their caregivers are burdened with the increasing demand for managing their care. Mobile health (mHealth) technology, such as smartphone applications, can support the need of these caregivers. This paper examines the published academic literature of mHealth applications that support the caregivers of AD patients. Following the PRISMA for scoping reviews, we searched published literature in five electronic databases between January 2014 and January 2021. Twelve articles were included in the final review. Six themes emerged based on the functionalities provided by the reviewed applications for caregivers. They are tracking, task management, monitoring, caregiver mental support, education, and caregiver communication platform. The review revealed that mHealth applications for AD patients’ caregivers are inadequate. There is an opportunity for industry, government, and academia to fill the unmet need of these caregiver.
