ABSTRACT
Neurocognitive diseases are diagnosed in specialized centers such as memory clinics, where the waiting time can be long. The reference assessment involves a battery of tests carried out by a specialized team. Facilitating screening in primary care using new technologies could make it possible to appropriately direct care pathways towards specialist care. This work aimed to set up a battery of questionnaires, cognitive and manual dexterity tests on a digital tablet to screen people with cognitive impairment. Three groups of people are recruited from a memory consultation people with major neurocognitive disorders, people with mild neurocognitive disorders and people with no cognitive impairment. Initial results in geriatric settings show that the digital tablet assessment test is feasible and well accepted, but that manual dexterity assessment needs to be adapted to the bodily particularities of the very old.
