Abstract: Disclosed is a method for assessing a cognition and movement disease or disorder in a subject. In the method, a qualimetric activity parameter for cognition and/or fine motoric activity measurements is determined from a dataset of measurements obtained from the subject using a mobile device. The qualimetric activity parameter is compared to a reference and the disease or disorder is thereby assessed. A method identifying whether a subject will benefit from a therapy for a cognition and movement disease or disorder is also disclosed. The method can be carried out with a mobile device having a processor, a sensor and a database as well as software that carries out the method. Also disclosed is a system having a mobile device with a sensor and a remote device having a processor and a database and software that carries out the method for assessing a cognition and movement disease or disorder.
