Validation of a Smartphone Application for the Assessment of Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment: MemScreen

The clinical evaluation of a patient with a cognitive complaint requires neuropsychological tests, evaluating the integrity of memory and other cognitive functions.

The initial evaluation is made most often by a doctor (general practitioner). In case of need for further examination, a neuropsychological report is made in consultation memory by a neuropsychologist, with further cognitive tests.

The Cognitive Neurology Center at Lariboisière Hospital - Fernand Widal has developed a tool on a digital tablet or smartphone to evaluate cognitive functions: MemScreen.

The purpose of this study is to validate this new neuropsychological test on tablet compared to the neuropsychological reference tests.

Characteristics of MemScreen :

• Smartphone / tablet application developed by the Cognitive Neurology Center at Lariboisière - Fernand Widal Hospital to explore a patient with a cognitive disorder.
• The application is a self-test by the patient under the supervision of a doctor.
• The doctor has an account to be able to pass the test to patients.
• The tablet test is anonymous without the possibility to identify the patient.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Major patients followed in memory clinic.
• Performing a neuropsychological assessment less than 6 months old.
• No visual or motor deficiency impeding the use of a digital tablet.

Exclusion Criteria:
