Digital tools to reliably evaluate cognitive and neurological symptoms

This SIG targets digital tools that measures cognitive and motor symptoms in Alzheimer´s disease and Parkinson’s disease. We are specifically interested in their diagnostic and prognostic values, the ability to track disease progression and to detect effects of interventional studies as well as their implementation in clinical practice.
