Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Despite the potential benefits of remote cognitive assessment for dementia, it is not appropriate for all clinical encounters. Our aim was to develop guidance on determining a patient's suitability for comprehensive remote cognitive diagnostic assessment for dementia. A multidisciplinary expert workgroup was convened under the auspices of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging. We applied the Delphi method to determine 'red flags' for remote cognitive assessment of dementia. This resulted in 14 red flags that met the predetermined consensus criteria. We then developed a novel clinical decision-making infographic that integrated these findings to support multidisciplinary clinicians in determining a patient's readiness to undergo comprehensive remote cognitive assessment.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
