Abstract

People with permanent cognitive impairment need to be frequently assessed and monitored. There exists a various number of clinically validated cognitive assessment tools, but they need to be administered by the therapists in clinical settings often. This serves as a major barrier for frequent monitoring of cognitive function. In this proposed work, we introduce COGNOFIT a collection of innovative mobile games that allows one to self-administer the assessment of their cognitive function. The game performance is analyzed and thus converted into a clinical-accepted measure of cognitive function, specifically the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, improving the impact of the system in real-world clinical settings. To validate the feasibility of the approach, we will collect game-specific performance data from patients, which will be used to train a supervised machine learning model to estimate the corresponding MMSE score.
