Challenges in Daily Computerized Assessment of Cognitive Functions of Post-COVID Patients

While it would be quite helpful to learn more about the daily fluctuations of fatigue and cognitive impairments of post-COVID patients, their condition can make investigating these especially challenging. By discussing these issues with post-COVID patients and clinical practitioners, we identified six challenges that specifically apply to daily computerized assessment of cognitive functions of post-COVID patients. We proposed solutions for each of the challenges which can be summarized as offering a carefully planned and flexible study design to participants and monitoring their well-being throughout the assessments. We argue that when the proposed precautions are taken, it is feasible to conduct a study that will generate valuable insights into the trajectories of (cognitive) post-COVID symptoms.
