Abstract
BackgroundPrevious research has shown that in-lab motor skill acquisition (supervised by an experimenter) is sensitive to biomarkers of Alzheimer disease (AD). However, remote unsupervised screening of AD risk through a skill-based task via the web has the potential to sample a wider and more diverse pool of individuals at scale.
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine a web-based motor skill game (“Super G”) and its sensitivity to risk factors of AD (eg, age, sex, APOE
MethodsEmails were sent to 662 previous MindCrowd participants who had agreed to be contacted for future research and have their APOEAPOE
ResultsFifty-four participants (~8% response rate) from the MindCrowd web-based cohort (mean age of 62.39 years; 39 females; and 23 APOEAPOEPPβPmale:TinTP
ConclusionsThis experiment demonstrated that this web-based game, Super G, has the potential to be a skill-based digital biomarker for screening of AD risk on a large scale with relatively limited resources. |
