Abstract:
We comment on the importance of the novel tablet-based screening tool for cognitive decline recently studied in Nigeria by Ogbuagu et al. TabCAT-BHA was administered on an iPad in urban and rural settings and was found to be a sensitive and culturally appropriate tool for assessing cognitive function and impairment. With accuracy, portability, speed, and ease of use, this study shows that such tests, computerized or online, have the potential to improve the screening of cognitive decline in diverse countries such as Nigeria, to facilitate early treatment and improved care and quality of life.
