Transforming neuropsychological assessments with AI
A webinar by Prof. Nicolas Langer, University of Zurich
Neuropsychological tests are a cornerstone of the assessment of cognitive impairment in dementia and related neurodegenerative disorders, yet their administration and scoring are often time-consuming and susceptible to subjectivity. Our research group develops AI-based solutions for the automated analysis of established neuropsychological instruments, including the Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure, the Five-Point Test, verbal fluency tasks, and related measures that are highly sensitive to early cognitive decline. By combining state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms with digital acquisition methods—such as speech recordings and digital pen technologies—we enable objective, reliable, and time-efficient quantification of cognitive performance.
In this presentation, illustrates how clinically relevant needs in dementia diagnostics are identified and translated into data-driven models that capture subtle deviations from normative cognitive functioning. The overarching goal is to demonstrate how technological innovations can alleviate clinical workload while simultaneously enhancing diagnostic precision, early detection, and longitudinal monitoring in dementia care.
