Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Digital neuropsychology is an emerging interdisciplinary field integrating traditional neuropsychological principles with digital technologies to enhance cognitive assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation. This article examines the evolution of digital tools in neuropsychological practice, evaluating their validity, reliability, and clinical utility compared to traditional paper-and-pencil methods. We analyze current applications including computerized cognitive testing, virtual reality-based assessments, mobile health applications, and artificial intelligence-driven diagnostic systems. Digital technology integration offers unprecedented opportunities for continuous monitoring, personalized interventions, and improved accessibility to neuropsychological services. However, significant challenges persist regarding standardization, data security, and culturally adapted digital instruments. The systematic review examined extensive international research, revealing substantial growth in digital neuropsychology applications across diverse clinical populations. Well-validated computerized batteries demonstrate psychometric properties comparable to traditional methods while offering significant advantages in precision, efficiency, and ecological validity. This comprehensive review synthesizes recent developments in digital neuropsychology and provides evidence-based recommendations for future research and clinical implementation.
