Cognitive function is one of the most fundamental psychological functions that play a significant role in person’s daily life.
Impairment in cognitive function can impacts the daily functioning and overall performance of the person. A digital application
could be an accessible and convenient method for the effective evaluation of cognition. The proposed Cognitive Assessment
Digital Smart Tool (CADST) evaluates the Attention (ATT) and Working Memory (WM) parameters of cognition. The
outcome measures of CADST were evaluated against PGI Memory Scale (PGIMS) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment
(MoCA). Usability testing for the CADST tool was performed using the Post‒Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ).
A total of 30 healthy participants were recruited (women = 12, men = 18; age (M ± SD) = 35.6 ± 10.63 y. o.). The feasibility
study analysis revealed a significant moderate to strong correlation between the total scores of CADST and PGIMS (r = 0.75; p
< 0.001) and a low to moderate correlation between the total scores of CADST and MoCA (r = 0.44; p < 0.001). Subtests of
CADST and PGIMS showed strong correlation for ATT (r = 0.81; p < 0.001) and moderate correlation for WM (r = 0.51;
p < 0.001). Similarly, subtests of CADST and MoCA showed moderate correlation for ATT (r = 0.63; p < 0.001) and low
correlation for WM (r = 0.24; p = 1.82). CADST showed a high correlation with PGIMS for evaluating ATT and WM
symptoms of cognition provide evidence of convergent validity. CADST is the first digital smart screening tool based on
PGIMS for ATT and WM using web‒based technology. The overall usability ratings showed high acceptance for system usage,
interface and information quality.
