Abstract

INTRODUCTION: We describe the reliability of remote self-administered digital cognitive measures completed via the Mayo Test Drive (MTD) web-based platform. METHODS: A total of 1846 participants (mean age = 70, SD = 12, range 31-101; 48% male; 96% White; 99% non-Hispanic; 97% cognitively unimpaired) with two to four complete MTD sessions at ∼7.5-month intervals were included. Test-retest reliability was assessed using single-rating, absolute-agreement, and two-way mixed intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) with 95% confidence intervals. ICCs for in-person-administered traditional neuropsychological measures were compared to MTD for a subset of 244 participants. Analyses also compared reliability across demographic, residential, and session context subgroups. RESULTS: Reliability was good for the MTD Composite (total ICC = 0.79 [0.77, 0.80]), and moderate-to-good for the primary outcome variables for each MTD subtest (total ICCs 0.70-0.83 for Stricker Learning Span and Symbols). The reliability of the remote self-administered MTD was similar to in-person-administered cognitive measures. DISCUSSION: MTD showed moderate-to-good reliability, supporting its use in longitudinal monitoring.
