BACKGROUND Teleneuropsychology (TNP) has evidenced to be a crucial tool in the assessment and treatment of individuals with limited access to in-person health services. Studies in Latin America are scarce and there is a pressing need for studies that test the feasibility of TNP and contribute to the development of tools, models, and validations, and the establishment of normative data for the diverse populations of the region. OBJECTIVE Conduct a pilot study to test feasibility and generate normative data for a Teleneuropsychology protocol in a Panamanian sample. METHODS This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, community-based study derived from the Development and Validation of Teleneuropsychology Normative Data for Older Adults in Florida (FLOAT study). The study’s final sample will include 150 participants (50 years and older). Participants will first undergo an initial screening to determine their eligibility and will be included if they have a basic understanding of and access to technological devices such as telephones, tablets, or computers, are free of cognitive impairment and/or serious health conditions and provide informed consent. Moreover, participants complete two questionnaires: an adapted Spanish version of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status of Memory (TICS-M) and the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) Health Questionnaire to determine if they can continue in the study. Participants who are eligible will be assessed with a TNP cognitive battery and answer questionnaires via a REDCap link. RESULTS To date, 67 participants ≥50 years of age (M=62.2, SD=7.6) have been assessed with questionnaires and a complete cognitive test battery. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics show participants on average had 16.7 years (SD = 1.9) of formal education. Participants showed a high degree of functional independence in performing basic and instrumental activities of daily living and had 1.5 symptoms of depression (SD = 1.8). Regarding the teleneuropsychological tests, when divided by sex, participants showed no significant differences in most tests, except for the MINT naming test, where a higher score was observed in males than females (p < .001). A similar pattern was observed in the verbal fluency test, with males performing better than females (p = .032). A satisfaction questionnaire revealed most participants were satisfied (33.8%) or very satisfied (60%) with the teleneuropsychological assessment, and most participants would recommend this study to others. CONCLUSIONS So far, the present study has proven feasible, yet, augmenting the number of participants is necessary to be able to create normative data. This study will be the first in the country and the Central American region to explore and establish teleneuropsychology as a new assessment method, specifically in elderly populations.

La rehabilitación neuropsicológica de los pacientes con apnea e hipoapnea obstructiva del sueño (SAHOS) está poco documentada, sin embargo, las secuelas de esta enfermedad son ampliamente conocidas, pues afecta diferentes esferas de quien la padece, incluyendo funciones cognitivas como atención, memoria, lenguaje y funciones ejecutivas, de ahí la importancia de la intervención neuropsicológica. El objetivo de esta investigación era establecer el efecto de un programa de rehabilitación neuropsicológica de las funciones ejecutivas para mejorar la funcionalidad en un caso único de trastorno neurocognitivo menor debido a SAHOS. Es un paciente masculino de 51 años de edad, bachiller, con diagnóstico de Trastorno neurocognitivo leve debido a SAHOS: Disfunción ejecutiva severa y trastorno de ansiedad no especificado. Es un estudio cuasiexperimental de caso único con diseño A-B no reversión, las mediciones repetidas se realizaron con los instrumentos: BRIEF A y escala de ansiedad de Hamilton. La intervención neuropsicológica se realizó bajo el modelo de Sholberg y Mateer utilizando actividades de la plataforma Cognifit (40 sesiones), tareas de lápiz y papel (6 sesiones) e implementación de la guía terapéutica en casa. Para el análisis de los resultados se utilizaron el análisis visual y métodos estadísticos como: El porcentaje de datos no solapados, el porcentaje de datos que exceden la mediana y el no solapamiento de todos los pares, que arrojaron datos efectividad del tratamiento tanto para el paciente como para el familiar. En la escala de Hamilton no se evidenciaron cambios.
