Abstract

Functional impairment is a diagnostic criterion for dementia and distinguishes mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from dementia. Self- or informant reports are most commonly used but can be biased and may not reflect actual functional ability. Alternatives include performance-based assessments, such as the Sydney Test of Activities of daily living in Memory disorders (STAM). The aim of this study is to develop, and validate, a new computerised diagnostic tool (C-STAM) to assess functional ability that can be administered remotely to increase accessibility. The C-STAM will realistically simulate everyday activities to assess functional performance.
