Smartphone‐Based Finger‐Tapping as a Predictor of Motor and Cognitive Decline in Neurodegenerative Disorders

Smartphone-based finger-tapping assessments effectively detect motor and cognitive impairment, with stronger associations for motor function. Findings in iOS users highlight the need to assess operating system-related biases and validate in Android. Remote smartphone assessments offer a scalable tool for tracking disease progression, warranting larger longitudinal studies.

Abstract

Smartphone-based finger-tapping assessments effectively detect motor and cognitive impairment, with stronger associations for motor function. Findings in iOS users highlight the need to assess operating system-related biases and validate in Android. Remote smartphone assessments offer a scalable tool for tracking disease progression, warranting larger longitudinal studies.
