Abstract
The primary goal of this project is to create automated speech-based versions of several standard neurocognitive assessment systems, capitalizing on pertinent expertise at OHSU’s Center for Spoken Language Understanding. Speech has significant usability advantages over other input modalities, such as keyboards, that are likely to be unfamiliar or motorically challenging for the elderly. The secondary goal is to initiate research on speech and language markers for innovative, non-standard assessment of Mild Cognitive Impairment, building on these assessment systems.
