About
Nelson Roque is a researcher at the forefront of mobile health (mHealth) and digital cognitive assessment, with a focus on making remote research more accessible and reliable. His work critically examines the methodological challenges of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) smartphone testing, a key area for large-scale studies on aging and Alzheimer’s disease. In his most-cited paper, “To BYOD or not: Are device latencies important for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) smartphone cognitive testing?” (24 citations), Roque demonstrates that device-level timing differences can significantly impact cognitive test accuracy, providing essential guidance for researchers designing remote studies. He also explores participant preferences in digital health, as seen in his 2025 survey on the acceptability of active and passive data collection methods. By addressing both technical validity and user engagement, Roque’s work helps bridge the gap between laboratory-grade assessments and real-world, scalable mHealth tools. His contributions are vital for researchers seeking to harness smartphones for large-scale, inclusive studies on cognitive health and public health outcomes.
