The Way You Drive Might Signal Mild Cognitive Impairment

Neuroscience

description

Researchers found that long-term driving behavior can reveal early signs of cognitive decline years before clinical diagnosis. Older adults who later developed impairment showed gradual reductions in trip frequency, night driving, and route variety compared to cognitively healthy peers. Machine learning models using GPS data predicted cognitive impairment more accurately than age, genetics, or cognitive tests alone. This low-burden monitoring approach could enable earlier interventions while preserving independence and safety.
