Digital Health Technologies Map Applications For Early Cognitive Change

A scoping review (Zhang et al.) published in 2025 systematically mapped digital health technologies (DHTs) for early cognitive change, identifying 193 studies through database searches up to Sept 30, 2025. It classifies six DHT categories, reports a mean participant age of 74.09 years, notes only 23 studies measured quality of life and limited 6–12 month follow-up, and highlights gaps in long-term efficacy and ethical safeguards.
Key Points
- 1Identifies 193 studies covering six DHT categories, with publication surge after 2020.
- 2Highlights gaps: sparse long-term efficacy evidence, limited SCD/caregiver coverage, and ethical/data risks.
- 3Urges rigorous long-term evaluation frameworks to validate interventions and improve clinical adoption.
Scoring Rationale
Comprehensive synthesis across 193 studies supports broad relevance, but limited long-term evidence reduces immediate clinical impact.
