Description
Amy Wise and co-authors test phone-based thinking tests before surgery in older adults in a 2025 pilot study. Confusion after surgery can signal deeper brain vulnerability, yet in-person pre-surgery testing is often unavailable. A smartphone app could widen access to screening.
Thirty adults aged sixty-five and up, set for long spine operations, took the app battery at home. Nearly all found the time demand fine, and all could read the text with ease. Self-reported thinking worries tracked the app's combined score. Partner reports of change also matched the app's executive task. The authors call remote screening feasible for this group.
