Abstract

As the incidence of cognitive impairment increases year by year,early screening and prevention of emerging cognitive impairment can be considered as a major challenge in the current healthcare system around the world.With the rapid development of Internet technology and its deep empowerment in all aspects of medical treatment,cognitive and psychological intervention for the elderly has entered the era of digital therapeutics.The low consultation rate and high missed diagnosis rate of cognitive impairment increase the care costs,causing a heavy burden on the families and the society.Therefore,it is imperative to improve the screening and popularize the electronic assessment of cognitive impairment in the elderly.This article reviews the electronic assessment tools for cognitive impairment in the elderly that have emerged at home and abroad in recent years,aiming to promote the popularization of intelligent assessment in communities and achieve early screening and timely intervention of cognitive impairment in the elderly.

随着认知障碍的发病率逐年升高,新发认知障碍的早期筛查和预防可以被视为对当前世界医疗保健系统的主要挑战。互联网技术发展迅速并深度赋能可应用于医疗的各个环节中,老年人认知与心理干预已经进入数字疗法时代。认知障碍存在就诊率低、漏诊率高的问题,显著增加了家庭和社会的照顾护理成本,因此加强老年人认知障碍筛查和提升老年认知障碍电子化评估的普及度也势在必行。本文就近年来国内外出现的老年认知障碍电子化评估工具进行综述,以期对推进智能化评估普及到社区,实现老年认知障碍早评估早发现早干预早治疗的目标有所帮助。.
