With the population aging,the number of elderly with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia is increasing,which seriously threatens the health and quality of life in elderly.The early screening and detection of dementia among high-risk population and appropriate interventional measures would delay the disease course,and maintain patients' self-care abilities and dignity.Computerized neuropsychological assessment devices are economic and efficient,and suitable for screening in large population.This article reviews the theory,characteristics and application of internet-based neuropsychological assessment for age-related cognitive impairment,as well as the prospect in the future studies.
