“…While similar to the experience sampling methodology (where users receive notifications for questions), embedding questions in a natural conversation with an agent would make these measurements less obtrusive. The collected information is then stored in the SKB and can be retrieved by the HBAF (e.g., for use in behaviour analysis as in Wohlfahrt-Laymann et al [39]). Dialogues can be designed specifically with this goal in mind, making use of questions for psycho-social assessment to support more complex analysis of the social and emotional state of users based on the combination of sensor data and self-reports through the Coach-as-a-Sensor.…”

As the population ages, cognitive decline is becoming a worldwide threat to older adults' independence and quality of life.Cognitive decline involves problems with memory, language, thinking and judgement, thus severely compromising multiple aspects of people's everyday life. Diagnosis of cognitive disorders is currently performed through clinical questionnairebased assessments, which are typically conducted by medical experts once symptoms appear. Digital technologies can help providing more immediate, pervasive and seamless assessment, which could, in turn, allow for much earlier diagnosis of cognitive disorders and decline. In this work, we present MobileCogniTracker, a digital tool for facilitating momentary, seamless and ubiquitous clinically-validated cognitive measurements. The proposed tool develops digital cognitive tests in the form of multimedia experience sampling questionnaires, which can run on a smartphone and can be scheduled and assessed remotely. The tool further integrates the digital cognitive experience sampling with passive smartphone sensor data streams that may be used to study the interplay of cognition and physical, social and emotional behaviours. The Mini-Mental State Examination test, a clinical questionnaire extensively used to measure cognitive disorders, has been particularly implemented here to showcase the possibilities offered by our tool. A usability test showed the tool to be usable for performing digital cognitive examinations, and that cognitively unimpaired persons in the relevant age-group are capable of performing such digital examination. A qualitative expert-driven validation also shows a high inter-reliability between the digital and pencil-and-paper version of the test.

We are developing whack-a-mole games for cognitive assessment. In prior research, we have shown that variants of the game assess cognitive speed and executive functioning (response inhibition), and can be used to screen for delirium in emergency departments. We have also found that whack-a-mole game performance is significantly correlated with overall Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores. In this paper, we report the results of a study that assessed the relationship of our serious game for cognitive assessment with specific components of the MMSE. We found that game performance is correlated most strongly with the orientation to time items component of MMSE and that the combination of three elements of the MMSE (attention and calculation; orientation to time; repetition) accounted for almost half of the variance in game performance in our sample.
