Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a pilot study to evaluate the use of remote cognitive testing to identify patients who may have cognitive vulnerability and may benefit from cognitive care pathways. Participants in this study are asked to complete a smartphone battery of thinking, memory, speech, and motor function tests on their smartphone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is evaluating cognitive function in older adults that are undergoing surgery using remote assessments. Participants complete a battery of neuropsychological assessments prior to their surgery date. The battery includes smartphone adaptions of tests of thinking, memory, speech, and movement. The participant has a one-hour remote visit, where the investigators will conduct a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and have the participant complete the smartphone assessments. After their surgery, participants are evaluated on the delirium rating scale.
