“…Generally, in order to monitor disease progression in different domains each patient is examined with several tests and on a regular basis, so their times add up and become large in the long run. An approach to diminish the administration, scoring, interpretation, and documentation times of neuropsychological tests is the usage of computerized or digital cognitive tests [ 86 ]. In that recent systematic review those authors found out that almost 60% were mobile-based screening tests; near 3 out of 10, desktop-based; and the rest, web-based.…”

Background: The growing number of older adults in recent decades has led to more prevalent geriatric diseases, such as strokes and dementia. Therefore, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), as the most common type of dementia, has become more frequent too. Background: Objective: The goals of this work are to present state-of-the-art studies focused on the automatic diagnosis and prognosis of AD and its early stages, mainly mild cognitive impairment, and predicting how the research on this topic may change in the future. Methods: Articles found in the existing literature needed to fulfill several selection criteria. Among others, their classification methods were based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), including deep learning, and data not from brain signals or neuroimaging techniques were used. Considering our selection criteria, 42 articles published in the last decade were finally selected. Results: The most medically significant results are shown. Similar quantities of articles based on shallow and deep ANNs were found. Recurrent neural networks and transformers were common with speech or in longitudinal studies. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were popular with gait or combined with others in modular approaches. Above one third of the cross-sectional studies utilized multimodal data. Non-public datasets were frequently used in cross-sectional studies, whereas the opposite in longitudinal ones. The most popular databases were indicated, which will be helpful for future researchers in this field. Conclusions: The introduction of CNNs in the last decade and their superb results with neuroimaging data did not negatively affect the usage of other modalities. In fact, new ones emerged.

“…Additionally, these digital versions ease remote and self-administration. However, due to the different way the neuropsychological test is conducted, results for the paper and digital versions of the same test may differ [ 86 ].…”
