Abstract:The clinical manifestations of hypofunction of the brain are complex and diverse, while the assessment content of traditional cognitive scale is single, ignoring many behavioral details, which has limitations in the diagnosis of dementia. With the continuous increase of research on the intersection of artificial intelligence and medicine, new evaluation methods continue to emerge. The exploration of speech, writing process, gait, eye movements, virtual reality technology and wearable devices in cognitive evaluation have become hotspots. This article focuses on the exploration and application of the above new cognitive assessment techniques, and discusses the advantages and prospects of these new cognitive assessment techniques compared to traditional scale assessment, which would provid guidance for the future application of such evaluation methods in clinical practice.
