Implementation Lessons 1. Mobile telephony use in the hospital setting is complex and sub-optimal implementation of mobile communication technology can create inefficiencies in clinical workflow 2. Objective measurement of mobile technology's impact on clinical communication workflow is necessary to identify and remediate associated inefficiencies in real-time 3. Functionality between mobile applications and devices should be evaluated when implementing technology, particularly when an application is non-native to a device 4. Continual collaboration between front-line clinicians and technical teams allows for early identification of adverse impacts from, and optimization of, mobile communication technology implementation.

Background: Digital solutions, such as mobile apps or telemonitoring devices, are frequently considered facilitators in the process of empowering older adults, but they can also act as a source of digital exclusion or disempowerment if they are not adequate for older adults' needs and characteristics.

Objective: This study aimed to synthesize and critically evaluate existing evidence on the effectiveness of integrated digital solutions that enable interaction for empowering older adults in aspects related to their health and to explore potential factors (eg, type of technology, participants' characteristics) impacting effectiveness.

Methods: A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, EBSCO, and SciELO using a combination of terms informed by previous reviews on empowerment.

Background: Screening and disease monitoring are two core challenges of disease management in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Digital speech and language features have shown promise as clinical outcomes in related disorders.

Methods: We reviewed how speech digital markers are currently used in AD, focusing on how behaviours are connected to underlying disease pathology.

Background: Speech impairment appears at early stages of Alzheimer's disease. A mobile voice recognition-based cognitive assessment tool, Shanghai Cognitive Screening (SCS), was developed for detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia in the community. The objective of this study is to investigate speech biomarkers associated with cognitive impairments based on SCS, and to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of speech feature-based machine learning (ML) models for detecting MCI.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impairment of daily functioning. It disproportionately affects certain racial and ethnic groups, with African Americans and Hispanics being 2 and 1.5 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease compared to white non-Hispanic Americans, respectively.

Background: Given the widespread of tele-assessment and tele-rehabilitation in speech language pathology and clinical neuropsychology for monolingual English-speaking patients with acquired neurogenic language and cognitive disorders, there is an urgent need to implement a culturally and linguistically tailored telepractice for multilingual people living with dementia (MPLWD), for whom there is no consensus on a standard model. This study aims to investigate the delivery model of remote assessment and intervention for this population.

Method: A systematic scoping review was conducted in December 2023 following frameworks described by Arksey and O'Malley (2007).
