Differential cognitive functioning in the digital clock drawing test in AD-MCI and PD-MCI populations by Chen Wang, Kai Li, Kai Li, Shouqiang Huang, Jiakang Liu, Shuwu Li, Yuting Tu, Bo Wang, Pengpeng Zhang, Yuntian Luo, Tong Chen

“…Based on this, we proposed the following research hypothesis: there is a difference in cognitive functioning between AD-MCI and PD-MCI populations in the CDT, and the two populations can be effectively distinguished based on this feature.MethodsTo test this hypothesis, we designed the dCDT to extract digital biomarkers that can characterize and quantify cognitive function differences between AD-MCI and PD-MCI populations. …”
