Mobile Framework for Cognitive Assessment: Trail Making Test and Reaction Time Test

This research proposes a mobile framework for two types of cognitive tests - Trail Making and Reaction Time, and conducts an investigation of its performance. The proposed methodology uses a cross platform framework which enables the deployment of apps to multiple platforms using a single Java code base. The functionality and usability of the mobile application were tested. Exploratory validation to compare existing testing methods and the new mobile implementation was conducted on a small sample of participants using a within-subjects design, with the intention to complete a full validation on a larger sample in future work. Benefits of the app over existing methods such as simplification of administration and increased data capture are discussed. It is the intention of the authors to release the app as an open source project, to encourage other developers and researchers to use it as the basis of a general purpose cognitive testing system. Such a system could have the potential to increase the number of manual cognitive testing methods being computerised. The app is currently a prototype, therefore a number of suggestions for future work are proposed.
