Associations Between Smartphone-Based Finger Tapping and Cognitive Performance in Older Adults: Observational Study
Digital finger tapping features, particularly those reflecting ITI variability, are significantly associated with cognitive performance. These findings suggest that finger tapping tasks may serve as noninvasive, scalable tools for assessing cognitive performance. Further research is warranted to validate their use for monitoring cognitive health in aging populations.
