| Summary: | Abstract This review presents the status quo of how far the digitalization of elements of the neurological examination has progressed. Our focus was on studies that assessed the examination conducted in person, rather than through telemedicine platforms. Five hundred and twenty studies were included in this systematic review. The digital tools covered ten elements of the neurological examination: gait (173, 33%), motor system (149, 29%), eyes (85, 16%), cognitive functions (53, 10%), sensory system (47, 9%), balance (35, 7%), other movements (24, 5%), other cranial nerves (24, 5%), coordination (10, 2%), and autonomic nervous system (9, 2%). Most of the tools were portable (442, 85%), and in 215 studies (41%) the devices were wearable. The cost of the digital tools used was described and discussed in 167 (32%) studies. Most devices (61%) had a low complexity, and half required high additional analytic effort. |
