We also conducted sensitivity and specificity analysis to establish the utility of this instrument in identifying potential cognitive dysfunctions in the two groups. To perform a convergent validity test, older adults were also administered with the MOCA, while young and middle-aged individuals were administered with a short neuropsychological assessment including gold-standard neuropsychological tests. Method: Here, we present results from a validation in two different populations: one consisting of older adults, and the other comprising young and middle-aged individuals, some of them affected by acquired brain injury. The “Guttmann Cognitest” ®, which includes seven computerized tasks designed to assess main cognitive functions, revealed in a previous validation study to be a potential useful tool to assess cognitive functioning in healthy middle-aged adults. Introduction: Digital solutions for cognitive assessment are currently not only widely used in experimental contexts but can also be useful in clinical practice for efficient screening and longitudinal follow-up. 5Servei Envelliment i Salut Servei Andorrà d'Atenció Sanitària, Andorra la Vella, Andorra.4Departament de Medicina, Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.3Fundació Institut d'Investigació en Ciències de la Salut Germans Trias i Pujol, Barcelona, Spain.2Departament de Medicina, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain.1Institut Guttmann, Institut Universitari de Neurorehabilitació Adscrit a la UAB, Badalona, Spain.Gabriele Cattaneo 1,2,3 * Alba Roca-Ventura 1,3,4 Eva Heras 5 Maria Anglada 5 Jan Missé 5 Encarnació Ulloa 5 Simon Fankhauser 1,2,3 Eloy Opisso 1,2,3 Alberto García-Molina 1,2,3 Javier Solana-Sánchez 1,2,3
