While most cognitive assessments are based on paper tests, the current trend is to digitise them, using new technologies. We aimed to achieve a systematic review on touchscreen-based assessments for neurocognitive disorders. A search on four databases (PubMed, Embase, IEEE Xplore and Web of Science) was performed. Two investigators independently selected the articles and assessed their quality using the QUADAS-2 tool. We included articles whose participants were over 65\u00a0years, classified according to the presence\/absence of major neurocognitive disorder (M-NCD) determined by conventional assessment of cognition, examined with a novel tool using a touchscreen device (tablet or smartphone). We finally retained 35 articles for the systematic review and 24 for the meta-analysis. Of the 35 articles included in the systematic review, participants had Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body disease or any type of dementia. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.89 (95% CI: 0.86\u20130.91) and 0.88 (95% CI: 0.82\u20130.92), respectively. Performances of self-administered or brief assessment testings were similar to those of assessor-administered or longer duration testings. The major limitation of this review and meta-analysis is the multiplicity and diversity of methods (tools, cognition assessment and type of M-NCD), which make the comparison difficult. We conclude that brief and self-assessment touchscreen-based cognitive tests are appropriate and simple tools to screen major cognitive disorders that can be used in primary care. The study was registered in Prospero (CRD42022358725).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afaf204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]],"date-time":"2025-07-31T12:36:52Z","timestamp":1753965412000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Diagnosis accuracy of touchscreen-based testings for major neurocognitive disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1480-6414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathavy","family":"Um Din","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de recherche en informatique pour la sant\u00e9 (LIMICS), Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 , 15 rue de l'Ecole de M\u00e9decine, 75006 Paris ,","place":["France"]},{"name":"LIMICS, Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne Paris Nord , 93430 Villetaneuse ,","place":["France"]},{"name":"Informatique, bioinformatique, syst\u00e8mes complexes (IBISC), Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay , 91000 Evry ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Maronnat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Informatique, bioinformatique, syst\u00e8mes complexes (IBISC), Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay , 91000 Evry ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Zolnowski-Kolp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de recherche en informatique pour la sant\u00e9 (LIMICS), Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 , 15 rue de l'Ecole de M\u00e9decine, 75006 Paris ,","place":["France"]},{"name":"Informatique, bioinformatique, syst\u00e8mes complexes (IBISC), Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay , 91000 Evry ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samir","family":"Otmane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Informatique, bioinformatique, syst\u00e8mes complexes (IBISC), Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay , 91000 Evry ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1630-9582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00ebl","family":"Belmin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de recherche en informatique pour la sant\u00e9 (LIMICS), Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 , 15 rue de l'Ecole de M\u00e9decine, 75006 Paris ,","place":["France"]},{"name":"H\u00f4pital Charles Foix, H\u00f4pitaux universitaires Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re-Charles Foix, AP-HP - Service de G\u00e9riatrie \u00e0 orientation Cardiologique et Neurologique , 7 avenue de la R\u00e9publique, 94200 Ivry-sur-Seine ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025073108364537700_ref1","first-page":"2020","author":"Alzheimer\u2019s Disease International","year":"2015","journal-title":"Numbers of people with dementia worldwide: An update to the estimates in the World Alzheimer Report"},{"key":"2025073108364537700_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"484","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(21)00066-1","article-title":"Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer\u2019s disease: Recommendations of the International Working Group","volume":"20","author":"Dubois","year":"2021","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol"},{"key":"2025073108364537700_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"753","DOI":"10.1016\/S0035-3787(08)00523-7","article-title":"Professional guidelines for the diagnosis and management of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related diseases, HAS (haute Autorit\u00e9 de Sant\u00e9) 2008","volume":"164","author":"Pasquier","year":"2008","journal-title":"Rev Neurol (Paris)"},{"key":"2025073108364537700_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD012279.pub2","article-title":"Computerised cognitive training for preventing dementia people with mild cognitive impairment","volume":"3","author":"Gates","year":"2019","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"2025073108364537700_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"igac002","DOI":"10.1093\/geroni\/igac002","article-title":"A systematic review of smartphone and tablet use by older adults with and without cognitive impairment.
