The speech test component gets the input from the microphone, usually present on the lower side of the smartphone. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a benchmark test assessing the cognitive capabilities of patients. A sentence (The cat always hides under the couch) approved by MMSE is asked to be pronounced by the patient (Arevalo-Rodriguez et al., 2015). The sentence uttered by the patient (transcribed sentence) is analysed by a react-native voice package. The difference between original and transcribed sentences is measured and compromised speech impairment is thus identified. The dexterity test is performed using a mobile integrated accelerometer. The patient is kindly instructed to hold the mobile for a stipulated time. The tremors during the course of tests cause fluctuation in accelerometer reading. React native sensors package is used to analyse the variations in accelerometer reading to notice compromised dexterity (Pagiatakis et al., 2020).
Chemical Exposure and Hypersensitivity

Physical examination should be performed with particular attention to the skin, head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and the central and peripheral nervous systems. Often, however, the physical examination is completely normal. The history and physical examination is frequently sufficient to exclude as reasonable possibilities an allergic disorder or classic occupational disease. Neuropsychological testing, if required, should be performed by an experienced clinical neuropsychologist. It is most useful in the evaluation of individuals with a history of central nervous system symptoms or findings suggestive of cognitive or motor impairment on mental status examination.

Driving Training ProgramsIn training programs, include some type of cognitive screening to ensure that trainees are functionally capable of benefiting from training. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a low-cost and easy-to-administer test that can screen for dementia or mild cognitive impairment (Folstein et al., 1975).Training programs should provide instruction on normal age-related changes that place older drivers at increased risk (e.g., visual and attentional changes, slowed processing speed, etc.).Provide instruction in traffic laws and other rules of the road including the meanings of signs and other traffic control devices, right of way, etc. This is important, as some traffic control devices have recently changed, notably devices for permissive left turns.Training programs should provide individualized feedback on performance to assist individuals to more accurately calibrate their perceived abilities with their actual abilities.At a minimum, older driver training programs should contain components including: (1) recognition of age-related changes in vision, cognition, and motor abilities that negatively impact driving; (2) speed of processing training; (3) training scan patterns at intersections; and (4) vision testing under low-light conditions.Older-driver training programs should include risk assessment. The most commonly used one to date has been the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ).

Whilst many methods and techniques can be employed to diagnose severe cognitive impairments like dementia, these approaches may not be sensitive enough to detect MCI. For example, the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) is one of the most widely used cognitive tests employed to detect severe cognitive impairment. In the MMSE, people are asked to answer specific questions which are related to cognitive domains such as language and memory. However, it has been reported that only 18% of MCI subjects can be detected via the MMSE cognitive test (Nasreddine et al., 2005), which indicates that this test has little utility for reliable early detection of MCI.
