  • Patent number: 12011282
    Abstract: An instrumented trail-making task (iTMT) platform includes a wearable sensor and interactive interface technology configured to identify cognitive-cognitive impairment in individuals such as older adults. The iTMT platform may be programmed with neuropsychological tests for assessing individuals. The iTMT may provide information on visual search, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, and/or executive functions as well as physical biomarkers of motor performance including slowness, weakness, exclusion, and/or motor planning error. Results of tests administered by the iTMT system may be reported to a patient or caregiver and used in identifying cogni-tive-motor impairment among individuals suffering from cognitive impairment, dementia, and/or those with frailty status, and/or cognitive frailty, and/or high risk of falling, and/or high likelihood of decline in cognitive-motor over time.
