Summary
Implementing technology in neuropsychological assessments faces barriers like tech anxiety and connectivity issues. Facilitators include training, reliable tech, and user support, emphasizing human factors for successful adoption.
Area of Science:
- Neuropsychology
- Health Informatics
- Digital Health
Background:
- Traditional neuropsychological assessments rely on in-person, pen-and-paper methods.
- Technological advancements offer accessible alternatives (computerized, tablet, videoconference) for remote or mobility-impaired individuals.
- Despite potential benefits, the adoption of technology in neuropsychological assessments has been slow.
Conclusions:
- Successful technology implementation in neuropsychological assessments requires addressing human and organizational factors beyond technical validation.
- Emphasis on capacity building, stakeholder perspectives, and co-design is crucial.
- Further research needed for evidence-based frameworks on systematic change management.
