The psychometric features of 22 unique touchscreen cognitive tools were included within this review. The following findings were noted regarding the accuracy of the screening tools across studies:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>MCI:</strong> area under the curve (AUC) ranged from 0.71 to 0.99, sensitivity ranged from 0.70 to 0.99, and specificity ranged from 0.55 to 0.94; and</li>
<li><strong>Dementia:</strong> AUC ranged from 0.88 to 1.00, sensitivity ranged from 0.78 to 1.00, and specificity ranged from 0.58 to 1.00.</li>
</ul>
For AUC, sensitivity, and specificity values for specific measures, see Table Two of the full-text document (p. 1369-1371). Limitations to this review include a small number of studies investigating each measure and moderate risk of bias in over half of the included studies.
