Abstract

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) poses a challenge for a growing population worldwide. Early identification of risk for and diagnosis of MCI is critical to providing the right interventions at the right time. The paucity of reliable, valid, and scalable methods for predicting, diagnosing, and monitoring MCI with traditional biomarkers is noteworthy. Digital biomarkers hold new promise in understanding MCI. Identifying digital biomarkers specifically for MCI, however, is complex. The biomarker profile for MCI is expected to be multidimensional with multiple phenotypes based on different etiologies. Advanced methodological approaches, such as high-dimensional statistics and deep machine learning, will be needed to build these multidimensional digital biomarker profiles for MCI. Comparing patients to these MCI phenotypes in clinical practice can assist clinicians in better determining etiologies, some of which may be reversible, and developing more precise care plans. Key considerations in developing reliable multidimensional digital biomarker profiles specific to an MCI population are also explored.
