People over the age of 65 were recruited from an inner-city old-age psychiatry service. Subjects had a structured interview (the CAMCOG test) by videoconferencing, and also face to face, by an investigator blind to the results of the test in the other mode. Reassessments were carried out within one week of the initial assessment. Eleven subjects were initially enrolled in the study and eight completed both modes. The number of patients in this study is very small but the results suggest that the CAMCOG test can be used reliably over a videoconferencing system without major modification.
65岁以上的老人从市中心的老年精神病学服务机构招募。受试者通过视频会议进行结构化访谈（CAMCOG测试），同时也由对另一种方式测试结果不知情的调查员进行面对面访谈。在初次评估的一周内进行重新评估。最初有11名受试者参与研究，8名完成了两种方式的测试。本研究中的患者数量非常少，但结果表明，CAMCOG测试可以在视频会议系统上可靠使用，无需重大修改。
