Abstract :
Cognitive assessments and the early detection of dementia are an important component of clinical care. In this paper we describe an approach to continuous monitoring of sensory-motor function that corresponds to standard tests of cognitive function, but measured more frequently and in a natural home environment. The approach is based on monitoring human-computer interactions using standard devices such as keyboard and pointing devices
