Abstract
As the population of the world increases, there will be a larger number of people with major neurocognitive disorder and an
emerging need for prompt diagnosis and treatment. A digital cognitive test could lead to that more people can be tested without
burdening healthcare. To explore elderly’s experiences of using a digital cognitive test a cognitive healthy population of 70-year-olds
were recruited from an ongoing longitudinal study in the north of Sweden. A qualitative study design was used, 132 participants

were recruited from an ongoing longitudinal study in the north of Sweden. A qualitative study design was used, 132 participants
conducted the cognitive test. After the test, the participants answered a short questionnaire of their experiences of the digital cognitive
test. The free text comments were analyzed using systematic text condensation. Participants appreciated the opportunity to complete
a cognitive test in digital form from their own choice of place and time and rated the cognitive test high. The participants expressed
that they felt more relaxed when they were allowed to sit and complete the test by themselves. Negative experiences of fatigue and
difficulty staying focused throughout the test were also reported. (Less)
