From digital devices and wearable sensors to modern data science approaches, there are a tremendous number of technological innovations that the field of neuropsychology has traditionally neglected. This presents many missed opportunities for neuropsychology to keep up with other fields of biomedical sciences. This course will introduce participants to a range of digital tools that may be applied to neuropsychological assessment and treatment, such as mobile applications, wearable sensors, automatic speech analysis, and mining electronic medical records. Participants will learn about the potential benefits of integrating these digital tools into neuropsychological practice, such as reducing the time burden of assessment, enhancing ecological validity, enabling long-term monitoring, and expanding access for underserved populations. *This presentation is supported by an educational grant from Bristol Myers Squibb*
Learning Objectives:
List different types of digital technologies that can be applied to neuropsychological assessment and treatment
Explain the benefits of integrating digital tools into neuropsychological practice
Recite research question examples using digital technology that cannot be answered using traditional neuropsychological tools
