The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred the development of non-face-to-face cognitive function tests.　These are expanding into a variety of areas, ranging from conventional cognitive function tests performed on PCs, tablets, and smartphones, to completely new data that can be obtained without awareness using a variety of sensors.　It is expected that the digital biomarkers obtained by these methods will develop to capture even the slightest decline in cognitive function in the future.
