The explosion of digital technology in the past decade has led to unprecedented possibilities towards improving cognitive assessment and understanding brain health. Digital technology encompasses using a multitude of devices, such as laptops, smartphones, etc, to collect health-related data. The settings can be varied to include in-clinic, remote/virtual, or a combination of hybrid models for data collection. Data can be collected at a single time point or over a continued period of time. Furthermore, the unique combination of devices used, settings, and methods of collecting digital data can become even more exclusive against the backdrop of the 'purpose’ for conducting the digital study. This symposium, consisting of four abstracts, brings together the unique combination of digital studies with exclusive devices, methodologies, settings, and purposes. The topics range from how smartphone-based assessments can be applied to understand the interaction between day-to-day variability in sleep and cognition, to the use of computerized testing to investigate the associations between cognitive performance and markers of brain pathology (e.g. amyloid and tau status), to understanding cognition from an open-source smartphone application to passively and continuously capture sensor data including global positioning system trajectories, to the development and validation of an online simulated money management credit card task, and to determining the effects of cognitive rehabilitation via digital technology on cognition, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and memory strategies.
