Early Detours: Daily Driving Behavior Predicts Mild Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
Older drivers with MCI show measurable and progressive changes in daily driving behavior, particularly in frequency, mobility, and navigational variability. Datalogger-derived metrics can reliably discriminate MCI and serve as passive digital biomarkers for early detection of MCI. These findings support integrating real-world driving data into clinical assessments to enhance early identification and personalized interventions for at-risk older adults.
