Electronic MoCA Dataset

The electronic MoCA dataset description for users. Adapted from Thai MoCA test

Walkthrough

The dataset consists of two main parts:

• Demographic

  demographic data related to patients or subject participating in cognitive assessment with e-MoCA. The pariticipant information is encoded with numerical code and hash number identifiers.

• Cognitive Assessment

  Cognive assessment data from each test composing the e-MoCA tools. The assessments are divided into 7 categories by cognitive function in the same manner of original MoCA test which are 1. Visual + Spatial 2. Naming 3. Memory 4. Attention 5. Language 6. Abstraction 7. Orientation

Demographic

In this dataset, the demographic data is stored in 3 files

• summary.txt containing following columns

  No.	Column name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	citizen_id	Masked citizen id
  3	staff_id	Identifier for a practitioner who administrate the assessment to the subject
  4	education	Numerical code for education as described in edu.txt
  5	test_date	Datetime when the test is being administrated
  6	test_province	Province in which subject participate in assessment
  7	test_location	The assessment sites as described in location.txt

  other columns is not relate to the cognitive assessment and can be dropped

• edu.txt file containing map between numeric code and the actual value of education

• location.txt Assessment site

Cognitive Assessment

The dataset is divided into 7 categories in the same way as original MoCA test design. however, our tools impliment Thai language version

• The first category is Visuo/spatial domain

  • Containing all visuospatial_p{number}.txt files. The other files dubbed visuospatial_p{number}t.txt is time series data that we can neglect it for now.
  • The important data for each table in a file is following

  No	Colume name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	score	Evaluated scaled score by the psychologist administrated the assessment (only use value which seq_no = 1 )
  3	create_date	The datetime that the data is recorded
  4	seq_no	The number specified the order of the evaluation where 0 indicate automated data collection by eMoCA and 1 indicate evaluation process by psychologist

• The second one is Naming domain

  • The only file that should be used is naming_score.txt with the following description

  No	Colume name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	score	Evaluated scaled score by the psychologist
  3	create_date	The datetime that the data is recorded
  4	animal{#num}	The participant answer to the corresponding question
  5	animal{#num}_check	Psychologists evaluation for that question

• The third one is Memory/Delayed Recall domain

  • This domain contain two tasks, Meomorization and Recall. However, only Recall is being evaluated as scaled score in original MoCA test so, we can use only delayed_recall.txt file. The important columns are listed here

  No	Colume name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	score	Evaluated domain's scaled score by the psychologist
  3	create_date	The datetime that the data is recorded

• The fourth one is Attention domain

  • This domain has 4 questions. Each question assessment is store in att_p{num}.txt. The most important columns in each files are the same.

  No	Colume name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	score	Evaluated question's scaled score by the psychologist
  3	create_date	The datetime that the data is recorded

  However, there are some additional columns in att_p1.txt, att_p2.txt and att_p4.txt which are answer{num} that store the answer from participant during the test. And for att_p3.txt there is columns timecount storing the total number of times participant knock the table (responding to task assignment).

• The fifth one is Language domain

  • This domain is quite overlooked in terms of language assessment, so we have only two question stored in files lang_p{num}.txt. The important columns are listed here

  No	Colume name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	score	Evaluated question's scaled score by the psychologist
  3	create_date	The datetime that the data is recorded

  Additional column in part one is in part two where the total number of ก.ไก่ word maybe be of use for analysis in column wordcount

• The sixth one is Abstraction domain

  • This domain is stored in only one abs.txt file.

  No	Colume name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	score	Evaluated domain's scaled score by the psychologist
  3	answer{num}	Evaluate score by psychologist for each question
  4	create_date	The datetime that the data is recorded

• The last one is Orientation domain

  • This domain is stored in only one ori.txt file.

  No	Colume name	Description
  1	patient_id	Identifier of subject
  2	score	Evaluated domain's scaled score by the psychologist
  3	answer{num}	Evaluate score by psychologist for each question
  4	create_date	The datetime that the data is recorded
