Abstract
The widespread use of mobile phones in daily life makes them a fundamental tool for the study of human behavior. In particular, they can be used as a source of additional information to help to diagnose diseases. This work is based on contrasted dual-tasking tests where cognitive performance is studied by performing tasks of high cognitive load while walking. In this case, we study significant differences in mobile device use among groups of people of different ages and examine whether they are more characteristic when the interaction takes place on the move. A study is conducted by monitoring the interaction with the mobile device for one consecutive week and analyzing the correlations between these interactions and the participants’ ages. Additionally, a user profiling model is designed to help to use this ground truth in future works focused on the early diagnosis of cognitive deficits. The results obtained contribute to preliminarily characterizing how age-related normotypical cognitive decline affects interactions with mobile devices. In addition, the pilot study generates a dataset with monitored events and interactions of 45 users that includes more than 4.5 million records.
