About this trial
This project will facilitate early detection of cognitive decline in older adults through development and implementation of an automated risk assessment and cognitive screening tool for use in primary care. By providing an automated tool developed specifically to address the needs of PCPs, it will be easier to screen for cognitive impairment, increasing the number of older adults who are screened and thus identified and treated.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Cognitive Performance Score
Combination of symbol matching and voice tasks, which generates a cognitive performance score ranging from 0 to 1 (high scores mean higher likelihood of cognitive impairment)
Time frame
baseline, 6 month, and 12 month visitsSecondary outcomes
1
Usability
Questions about usability completed by clinic staff and PCPs. The scale is a modified version of the Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease of Use (USE) questionnaire. Scores range from 8 to 56, with higher scores indicative of greater usability.
