“…The finding that essential components of the neurologic examination can be completed via telemedicine is supported by a prior study by Craig et al (1999). In addition, a small study has demonstrated that it is possible to do the MMSE accurately via telemedicine (Ball et al, 1993). Thus, although we had more baseline information than might be found with a typical telemedicine examination, the only essential information was collateral history from a caregiver and this type of information would be required for any dementia evaluation whether done via telemedicine or an in-person examination.…”

We found that telemedicine was as accurate as an in-person clinical examination in establishing the diagnosis of dementia. In addition, subjects reported a high degree of satisfaction with telemedicine and a willingness to participate in telemedicine clinical care in the future. Given the large increase in the aging population and the shortage of geriatric psychiatrists nationally, it appears that telemedicine may be a promising means to expand the availability of geriatric psychiatric consultation to remote areas.

“…The term, "remote neuropsychological assessment (RNA)," has been proposed to denote the general use of telecommunication and Internet-based technologies in neuropsychological assessment and practice. 27 Researchers have reported the development and use of remote cognitive assessment measures [89][90][91][92][93][94][95] ; however, practically all of these studies have been limited to the use of conventional telephony or televideo technologies. It should be noted, however, that as telecommunication systems expand their bandwidth capacity, thereby increasing the speed and amount of information that can be carried simultaneously by data transmission lines, telephony and televideo may eventually become standard Internet-based technologies.…”

Objectives: To present current applications of computer-based neuropsychological assessment, including the assessment of sports-related concussion, symptom validity testing, and the remote administration of tests through the Internet. Problem areas: If computer-based assessment benefits are to become popularized, a few issues will need to be addressed: the development of psychometric data based on comparisons with long-standing empirically sound test measures; additional validation of measures by parties not involved in their commercial development; increased focus on ecological validity; exploration of the usefulness of remote data storage and automated posting to databases; and improved documentation of specific computer hardware and software used in experimental methods. Conclusions: Beyond ease of administration and data collection, computer-based assessment offers benefits over paper-and-pencil measures in the form of millisecond timing accuracy, reliable and randomized presentation of stimuli over multiple trials and repeat administrations, and unobtrusive measurement of cognitive skills and response times during all aspects of the assessment process.

“…Alternative communication modes such as videoconferencing and computer-automated or computer-assisted telephone screening, while at an early stage of development, show promise for the future [68][69][70]. Although it might be possible to adapt the MATS to one of these formats, it remains to be seen whether these technologies become widely available, cost-effective, and readily embraced by older adults.…”

Background-Telephone interviews are widely used in geriatric settings to identify eligible research participants and to perform brief follow-up assessments of cognition. This article reports on the development and validation of the Memory and Aging Telephone Screen (MATS), a structured interview for older adults with mild cognitive impairment and/or significant memory complaints. We also developed three alternate forms of the MATS objective memory test to reduce practice effects engendered by multiple administrations.Methods-Participants were enrolled in a longitudinal study that included 120 older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI), subjective cognitive complaints (CC) but without deficit on neuropsychological tests, and demographically-matched healthy controls (HC). An additional 15 patients with mild probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) completed the alternative forms study. All participants received the original MATS version, and a subset (n = 90) later received two of three alternate forms.Results-The MATS was sensitive to group differences and the alternate forms were equivalent. MATS objective memory test scores showed adequate stability over one year and were moderately correlated with scores on a widely used list-learning test (CVLT-II).Conclusions-The MATS, a repeatable telephone screen that includes objective and subjective memory assessments, is useful for detecting individuals in the preclinical and early stages of dementia. Results encourage use of the MATS as a reliable and valid cognitive screening tool in research and clinical settings. Longitudinal assessments are being performed to investigate the predictive validity of the MATS for cognitive progression in MCI.
