Cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and traumatic brain injuries,pose significant diagnostic challenges, requiring accurate, timely assessments to facilitateappropriate interventions. Traditional neuropsychological assessment tools, while widely used,often have limitations in terms of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Recent advancementsin technology, including neuroimaging, artificial intelligence, and digital assessment platforms,are significantly enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing cognitive impairments.This paper provides a comprehensive review of these emerging technologies and theircontributions to the field of neuropsychological assessment. It explores the benefits ofintegrating artificial intelligence into diagnostic procedures, neuroimaging advancements, andthe use of wearable devices in monitoring cognitive functions. While these advancements offerpromising improvements in diagnostic precision, challenges related to accessibility, cost, andethical considerations remain. The paper concludes with recommendations for future researchand development aimed at improving the integration of these technologies into routine clinicalpractice to enhance diagnostic outcomes for cognitive disorders.
